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?

I really don't have dress up clothes.
The best I can figure, the boys and I spend about 1125 bucks on clothes and shoes, including two pairs of basketball shoes at over a hundred bucks each, during all of 2006. That might not include some stupid souvenir t-shirts and stuff we bought on vacation...DH took the boys to the Baseball Hall of Fame, for instance, and you gotta get the t-shirt, right?
DH bought a new suit and two new sports coats this year, but that was unusual for him....he hadn't gotten any new professional clothes since the year we were married. I don't know what all he spent, honestly.
Part of my expense is the fact that my oldest outgrows things each season, so I am basically buying roughly 1.5

My oldest son (10 years old) is on his second pair of tennis shoes this season.

I don't think they sell sports shoes.

No, I don't think so. Depends on your definition.
