Help! Husband pushing me to find job!
| Tue, 11-07-2006 - 10:35am |
My husband has just taken a leave of absense from his high paying 80 hour a week job to focus on being home more and finding out what he really wants to do. He is now working 3 days a week at a job he really likes. He always said if he took this job he would find another part time job to supplement the income. I am working weekends and babysitting during the week, but my income is a joke. Our kids are 5 and 3 and cry every weekend when I leave. My problem is this: my husband has put no effort in finding that 2nd job he said he would find and is pushing me to work full time. I want to be a stay at home mom, but it may mean him going back to a job he hates. He says the kids will adjust, get over it. Am I being selfish or lazy for wanting to stay home? Is he being selfish for leaving a good paying job?

Sounds wonderful.

I find clothing in general is a tremendous bargain in recent decades relative to the price of most everything else except electronics.

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
Mine wears a uniform, so as long as his shirts are pressed (professionally, I do not deign to iron work shirts...lol) and he has good work boots, he is set. His weekend wear would consist of jeans and race tshirts but I am always buying him stuff and trying to get him to be a bit more *metrosexual*. He will wear the stuff I get him when we go out, but thats about it!
