Job hunting?



I never took job-hunting seriously after leaving my job 6 years ago because my husband wanted me to stay at home and take care of our children. I've been happy with the arrangement. As a stay-at-home mother, I can be flexible for my family, and there is no need to feel sorry for my co-workers like I did when I took sick leave for my children. I have no boss who makes an ironical remark to me!
Having said that, I have another thing to think about. When I was a working mother, I never worried about juggling household expenses. Now that I can't earn money, I need to think about making ends meet.
I'm not going to looking for a job which will take an enormous amount of time and energy; however, it wouldn't hurt at all to get a job that would give me some pocket money. I've been studying two foreign languages, so I could do with some money.
Now, what can I do?

Hi!

Hi Emi-san! Hope you're having a good weekend.
I often find your circumstances are quite similar to mine. I quit my job 2 years ago when my husband's job relocated us abroad. Since then, I haven't got any regular income, and have to depend on my husband's. He grudges me nothing, and always generous. All the more for that, however, I feel reluctant to ask for extra money. I feel strongly that I need some financial independence. Now, I'm looking for a job I can engage in at home. It might be difficult in this economic situation all over the world. Still, I think I'll try, and believe you can find some, too.

Hi, Kim! Let me say this. I love your writings very much! I think it might be rude to say like this, but I can't stop telling you this. I wish I could write things like you do. I know, I need to practice.
Well, I believe many stay-at-home mothers are struggling with situations like we have (had). Children can be very demanding, and mothers sometimes have no choice but to quit their job to take care of them. When we want to come back to society, there is no place to live. Something has to be changed, but I know something never be changed....
