Changing jobs for our kids and family situation?

My ex-husband hated is job the company he works for because he is underpaid and not appreciated for the work he does. The company also takes their employees for granted and everyone is always under tight deadlines and pressure to meet sales. He is a electrical engineer and when we were married I supported his and wonderful decisions he made about getting a differ job. Now that we are divorced I would like him to move to the area I moved to because we have two kids together and there are more opportunties where I live for him. Plus he would make double the income he makes now and it would be the same price to live here where he is now in Idaho. How can I get him to change his direction in life to benefit his current family and our children. Also it would benefit him as well because he would no longer be at a company where is father works and stuck at a job that he is supposly miserable at where he has been for 6 years and more? What can I say to him or do to make him move closer so we can share the children more?Changing jobs for our kids and family situation?
Well his job can't be that bad if he's put up with it for six years.

You can't expect him to give up his home and life and everything he is used to just because you want him closer to you to share the children more. Which i feel is the real reason your asking this question.

You should have taken the childrens needs regarding access to their dad into consideration, before you moved state.

You can't expect everything your own way.

Okay so you moved and now you are struggling so you want him to move to were you are at so he can help you???



Uh, no. HAH! But I needed a good laugh.



I can understand you wanting to help him, get him established and settled, but his plans may not have anything to do with you...



Oh well, you left and you took your daughter, maybe for the best but it was your choice to leave, you can not expect him to follow you because you made it. Let him take his own course, he will learn his own lessons and make his own mistakes.



As for you, find reliable daycare and take care of you and worry about you and your child. Let him worry for himself, you have more on YOUR plate...



Good Luck
