Ah Jyllian![]()
I know how you feel! I have a permanent job with a salary and DH works from home as he is a painter and rehabilitates wild life etc. He has just been made area representative for a huge company so they will reimburse him his expenses on the birds etc. His paintings are amazing and he does sell them so there is at least some income there but not a set amount.
My situation is not nearly as frustrating as yours but I can really imagine that in your position I would too have lost it with OH. I agree that if he knows that he does not have an fixed income he cannot expect to maintain set expenses such as tobacco etc.
What was his response to all this? I hope he wakes up soon before it is too late.
Pam like I said he tried justifying his tobacco/pop/etc. expenses by bringing up my $5 fast food purchase from two weeks ago

Oh I didn't mention that the house is a flippin' disaster. The kitchen counters and sink are covered with dirty dishes, crumbs, spills. And I washed my laundry on Sunday so I'd have clean clothes for the week, figuring he could wash his clothes while at home all the time. Both laundry hampers upstairs are full of dirty clothes he has yet to acknowledge. I had made it clear before while he was working, especially the extended hours, that I had no problem handling the housework and he could take any extra time he has to work on the bedroom remodel. But now that he hasn't been working for weeks I feel like he has more than enough time to job search and do some things around the house as well as tend to the bedroom. I almost took a picture of the kitchen this morning but would be too embarrassed to share it
