No more trip planning :(

[Kenenitz]

Well we got crappy news the other night. Dh lost his job. He works in the auto industry. He are going to be able to get unemployment but it's significantly less than what he was making, so I'm not sure what we're going to do.

Granted if he finds something right away we might be ok financially, but dh feels like starting a new job he has become low man on the totem pole. It would not only be disappointing to have to cancel a trip but we'd feel better waiting for the time being.. especially with the way the economy is.

I'm disappointed and reminding myself it could be a lot worse.. on a more ironic note, my parents are still going.. and now my sister is going to be going before us with her daughter... ( rem she was living with me and threw a hissy we were planning a trip.. ) regardless.. she doesn't feel that its a problem with her still going without us... my mom and her discussed it and decided it was karma for excluding her.. @@ they suck.

Oh, I am so sorry! I remember your story....

Lots of hugs!

Your down, but you're not out! Best of luck to your dh in finding a job. Regardless if its now or later, you will go to Disney and have a fabulous time and it will be guilt free because your sister and parents have just taken care of that with their comments.

I know its hard right now to understand but I think everything happens for a reason and you were not meant to go on a trip with them

If that's karma then your family has a lot of nasty things coming to them.
I'm really sorry about your husband's job, but from what I have read about you and your immediate family, you are all very resiliant. I'm sure that with a little time, patience and a little more patience, you'll be back to planning your trip and getting on track.
Keeping you in my positive thoughts!! Hang in there, you can do it!

I'm so sorry about DH's job!

Ugh, they do indeed suck.

Hubby's Buddhist, and he will tell you absolutely that karma doesn't work like that, LOL. In fact they are drawing future learning to them, just for thinking that sort of thing to justify their ridiculous actions and words...

I'm so sorry your husband lost his job. Mine has been unemployed for three months and believe me it's tough. At least now you can plan a new trip as soon as he finds a job and go by yourselves. I would rather go without the extended family anyway. Especially your sister (I remember your post about her).

Some people fall up, instead of falling down.

My freinds husband was caught nodding off at his desk and was fired. He went looking and found anther job. A BETTER job, more money, better hours, closer to home - he wouldn't have looked if he hadn't been fired. That's falling up.

Hopefully, you'll fall up too.

Sorry for your job loss, we went 8 months after my hubby was laid off years ago and you will get through it, a positive attitude goes a LONG way! You will get through it too.

Remember stay smiling, Disney is not gone just on hold!

Indeed

I remember your story and thought you were a sweet gal You let your sister live with you and now you have a bit of bad news and perhaps a financial setback.

Your family should be surrounding you with love at this time

I am sorry about your DH losing his job. My DH is in the Auto Industry as well and it is a scary time. I am sending you lots of hugs and prayers I am sure when things get better you will go on your dream trip! Maybe you will even win one! LOL My friend had to cancel a trip due to her DH being laid off and 2 weeks later they won a 3 night disney cruise w/ a 4 night WDW stay!

I am sooo sorry...I remember reading your story.I wish so much I was rolling in money because in your case I would give a total stranger a vacation! If anyone should go its you and your family...I really wish I could say more than sorry....

I am so sorry about DH's job. My DH is in the auto industry as well, I don't know what area your husband was, but mine is on the sales side. Things have been slower and he has been concerned. He has some job security in that he's upper management and if they were to close his store, they would most likely move him to one of their other ones, but it's still scary as that would most likely involve a heavy pay cut.

We haven't canceled our December trip yet, but its definitly in limbo. We have the money set aside to go, but DH is afraid to take it out and spend it right now. I will be so disappointed if we don't go. But I know that times are tough and we have to be careful.

I'm sorry about your family. I know my mom has given me so much grief about the trip we took last year. DH and I have also been two times together before that. But my parents haven't been in like 10 years or whatever because they couldn't afford it. (or couldn't save for it, however you want to look at it) It made me so sad. Now they are going for sure in October and its hard to be happy for them when they couldn't manage to be happy for us.

I hope that your Dh finds something quickly and that you will be back to planning your trip soon!
