The problem here Sunny is that a wayward spouse can make all the demands they want.. It won't change their mood.
What they need to GET is that they aren't TRYING HARD enough... THEY have given up so THEY need to start working again...
You can dance around and do acrobatics in teh kitchen... It won't matter if you make money or whatnot...
Becuase of how he feels' he's stopped trying, and as long as he feels this way your efforts won't make much difference to him...
If you start making more money his MOOD will just find a way to spin a negative on it...
a. It insults his manhood - he's the provider not you - quit now! b. It means he can take it easy - he will quit his job and facebook full time instead c. It means you are a busy career woman and the famly is giong to fall apart - quit working now d. It means HE just has to do more around the house - quit now!
I can go on... what he SAYs he wants and how he REACTS when he GETS that aren't necessarly the same thing...
Much like QS' wife he's running and thrashing about to make himself feel better but what he SAYS will help won't help him long term...
It just leaves YOU frustrated that he has you hoop hopping with no end in sight.
Just tell him what YOU are doing and to HELL what how he feels about it..
School is for the family too.. Did it ever occur to you how much it would MOTIvATE yoru kids to see YOU in school full time? You can set a wondeful example for them all...
