For a while Michael has been considering finding a new job. His current job has long hours and a shifting schedule that makes it hard to do family things. Most nights he comes home from work says hello and plays with Patrick for maybe 30 mins before they both go to bed. He also has to switch between day and night shift ever 4 months, the next switch is right before Christmas. That all being said, he would like to find a job that is more steady with the work schedule and would have a similar take home pay.
He may have found something but we are still not sure about it. While the pay would be about the same, the insurance would be more out of pocket than it is now. This has him worried, especially since we want to have more children and would have to pay the larger deductible amount. We also have increased our credit card debt amount. This is another concern as well. I now have two girls to watch which will help to pay off some of this debt. The hours would be more conducive to family life and being able to be more active and involved in church as well as providing him with time to possibly study and take classes. He will also be given a company car to use, so we could sell his car and lower our insurance rates each month.
I just wish it would be an easy decision to make.
