What it was like to tell my kids I lost my job: 'Aren't you important' Mom? (via CNBCMakeIt)
I just sat with it first. I was thinking, "How am I going to tell them that I have been laid off?"
"Well, we're probably going to have to make some changes initially, but as your mom, please let me focus on that. I don't want you to worry about that," I said. "I will find a job that makes me happier, a place to work that values me, a place where I want to be," I said. Also, there is no "I need this article of clothing just because and I want to do online shopping" for me and my girls. They know they need to be conscientious about what they ask for. And they have been fantastic — without reminder.I'm also spending more time working with survivors of domestic abuse, offering free coaching to help them rebuild their lives, re-enter the workforce and to help them shed any misplaced guilt, shame and judgment they might feel.
