For the first time we had an argument regarding finances. He kept on telling me that he was frustrated bec I keep on raising our scenario that we have no savings and income. He is about to review for licensure and that means he's temporarily can't provide financially. I think he's putting the blame on me by venting his frustation that is according to him rooted from me being so concerned in our lackings. Can he blame me? I am SAHM and even if I want to help financially, how could I? He's somewat pressuring me to come up with a business, but Im not into business. I would rather be an employee than to think of a business I cant take care. :( help!

Hi there. I think we are similar situations now. I do not nag him or tell him about it but it really frustrates me that we have a growing child (4 yo) and we have no savings, no fixed income and no house of our own yet. He lost his job early this year and has no plans of getting a full-time employment soon. He is working on our business though which makes enough for us to get by and he applied as a part-time teacher. I just found a job but would probably have to quit it now since my son gets really anxious whenever I go to work. Like you I am not into business and would rather be gainfully employed. I would suggest that you try looking for online jobs because that won't take you away from your baby. It. would be really tough to start but I think once you get going, it will all be better. Furthermore, don't argue about finances anymore with your husband as it will only make him feel inadequate and that will not be good for your marriage.
