He'll be back late tonight, I was thinking I'd feel a little more comfortable if he was in the house within earshot like someone else mentioned. 2 y/o gets picked up early on Thursdays before husband can get off work so I thought Friday would be best. Haha, maybe he could be there just to make sure I bring it up.
I don't think it has anything to do with you being qualified. Sadly, there is a huge gap between the caring end of the business and the business end of the business. Many of us find that what makes us great at the caring end, makes the business end harder. We are loving, nurturing people. Blackcat told me not long ago something to the effect that I needed to not always think emotionally. I can't remember her exact words or the exact thread but she was right. For many of us, the emotional part comes easy, to easy really when we need to not be emotional over the business end. I hope that is at least as clear as mud lol.
