My honest response:

Don't play the family card. Your personal situation has no determination on your value to a company (I would say that to anyone regardless of their situation)4

Always be on the look out for a better job.

Establish a perception punctuality.

Before asking for a raise. Have a conversation with your boss about what he thinks you can do to earn a raise in pay. Time served does not equate to deserving a raise; increasing responsibility and skill set does.

Be aware of the value of you personal stock. Finally ask for a raise when you are confident that the perception of your performance is in a good place.

Best of luck to you.

This is very good advice.

That's what I would do if I did speak to them. I would actually enjoy more. I've tried taking on more tasks over the last year or two as is.

Thanks everyone for your advice. I'll be going to the interview today just to feel them out.

I'll bump the thread later with a final update just for shits and giggles.
