Am I wrong?

Hello, so my husband and I are going through a financial struggle . To the point where we can’t buy necessities for our kids . We live with my family . He comes only on his days off while I work and the rest of the days he works he stays with his family . It’s been 5 years. I told him let me sell my wedding ring so we could get the kids diapers and groceries he sends me $60.. and says I’m wrong for wanting to sell the ring to get kid’s necessities. He does pay all the bills and he’s trying but we are struggling. Am I wrong?

I wouldnt sell my ring. Temporary gain for a long term loss. Maybe find a side gig you can do from home? Crafting something, if you are crafty?

Agreed! Her husband is right when the struggle is over and all is well you’ll regret selling your ring.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

Dads app!

I have been using this app for the last 6 months ish and found it brilliant for advice and making friends. My partner though doesn’t have any male friends who are dads and I was wondering if anybody knows of anything similar to this app that he could use to find some other dads local to us, to chat to/get advice/make friends etc. anyone any ideas? ☺️

Vitamins

Little one is now 6 months old and the Health Visitor recommended that we start giving her some vitamins. Anyone got any recommendations of good brands/where to buy these? Thanks ☺️
