im 7 mo pregnant, and i work as a nanny. im not 18 yet, i will be next month. i have been a nanny for about 4 mo. my stomach muscles have separated and it hurts to lift things over 15-20 lbs i baby sit 3 kids, a 4 year old a 6 year old and a 5 month old. i only get paid 400$ a month.. that's 2 $ an hour, 50 hours a week, mon-fri 200 hrs a mo. the let me drive their extra car but i don't get to keep it if i quit. the thing is that my boyfriend and i live about 25 miles away from where we both work, he works down the street from where i work and we drive together every morning. he doesn't have his own car either. the only reason i have stayed working here so long is for the car. i know they are taking advantage of me but i would feel guilty for quitting because my boyfriend would have to quit his job too. we live at my parents house and he could find a job down there but not one as good as the one he has now. do you think i should quit my job and make my boyfriend find a new one by where we live? i want to try and find like a barista job, or a job at babys-r-us near my parents house. ALSO: my parents bought me a car last year but took it back because my step dad needed it, and then my mom promised me 1000$ for a car and then backedout because she needed the money for bills, so thats why i havent saved for a car or got a better paying job so far, because i was counting on what they promised me. please help any good advice helps!...
