A bit upset about this
So currently my fiancé and I have 4 kids(ages 5 and under), one being 3 months and breastfeeding. My fiancé wants the kids homeschooled as he doesn’t agree with what is being taught in public schools and also the shootings going on. So that makes me a sahm. We also don’t currently live together anymore because where we were living had to get sold (that’s a different story) so I live with my mother for now and he was staying with his father (he doesn’t like my mother). Well his father is about to move into a house boat so that’s about to leave him homeless, he works with my uncle which only gets him $400 a week (he’s training, he’ll be making $700 a week when he’s done but it’ll take time).
My mother offered for him to stay here with our kids and I here but he declined and told me he’d rather live in the streets or the woods. So lately he has been sending his friend in Florida money because he’s struggling, which is nice and all but we have 4 kid’s together and he has another kid with someone else and he only makes $400 a week. Due to that I’ve had to borrow money from my mother for groceries twice now which pissed him off. Also his other friend offered him to come live with him at his apartment but said he has to help with the electricity bill and food. And again, he only makes $400 a week.
I have an etsy shop where I sell a couple things and make a little money on the side but it’s only to pay my bills so he doesn’t have to worry about that. He says I keep making excuses as to why I can’t do a work from home job but honestly I don’t think I could be focused on a work from home job with a 4 1/2 year old, 3 year old, 1 1/2 year old, and a 3 month old. I’d have to keep stopping to breastfeed, cook, change diapers, and make sure they don’t kills themselves or each other (y’all know how toddlers are). Also most of those work from home jobs are call center like jobs and require a quiet place which I definitely do not have.
So I told him that it might be best for our family if he stays with us until he starts making the $700, I understand he dislikes my mother (she hasn’t really done anything to him) but we have a family and it’s sad that he’d prefer to live in the woods instead of living here for free for a little.
So I told him how I felt about this and his response was “Don’t tell me what to do with my money. That I work for and earn” . I don’t know if it’s hormones or what but I almost started crying and was speechless when he said that. But he said I only said those things to guilt trip him and hurt him. So I guess I can’t rely on him for help, so is there anything y’all suggest for me to make a little extra money from home?
