Work and respect.

Normally, I wouldn't post about things like this but I wanted to this time.
People I have had A LOT of jobs. 
It never ceases to amaze me how rude people will be when you tell them your leaving for new horizons. 
We all have reasons for change. 
And some reasons yes are better than others, but I think for the reason my husband is leaving his is a pretty good one. 
Him already having a son, and now with ours on the way I don't blame him for wanting more family time. When you work a job where weekends aren't off and trying to get them off is more of a hair pulling hassel than easy, you begin to look at other options.
As most of you know I previously worked for a school board. 
My entire family does as well so yes maybe I'm a bit biased towards it haha.
When working for the school board you don't only get vacation and sick days you get most of every vacation your child has off. 
That was the appeal to me. When I was growing up thats all it was. 
We had our vacations together and everything, I will treasure that time till the day I die.
So with that being said I wanted the same for my kids. 
He put a lot of hard work into the company he is leaving and for anyone that would be hard. But what makes it harder is when you give your reasons with it being completely family oriented, and for them to treat you in a not so nice manner after is unacceptable to me.
How can you be so cruel to someone you have known for such a long time, and know that this person wouldn't leave unless it was for the betterment of themselves and the company they are leaving? 
And most importantly the family he has created. 
As well as for his other job, the National Guard. It is easier for everyone and better all around. 
It shocks me that people who claim to love him personally as well as at work, would have such little understanding.
It angers me. 
He works so hard and he gets treated so disrespectfully. 
It truly breaks my heart. 
I would love some feedback on this. 
Do you have a bad work story? Experiences? Tips on making it easier? How you dealt with it, or what was done?
