Well, the phone is still off... his mom paid his car insurance on a car that can't be driven in snow ( a corvette my dad gave me when he passed away), and he's still not doing a thing about it. I, however, have laid the law down when I go to the grocery and I tell him that we have a strict list to stick to, and if he goes and wants something that's not on the list, he needs to pay for it.

what??? no money??? aw, darn honey... guess we can't get it!

(evil snicker)

I try to keep the grocery bill to $100 or less a week for three people. My mentally handicapped brother lives with us, and we both try to pack our lunches so we save money that way. But the hubs doesn't understand that I dont have the money to go to Steak N Shake every night. He thinks that since I make $$$$ a month, we can afford ANYTHING.

The sad part is: I feel like he's holding me back. I want a family. I want children, but I refuse to do so until he gets a job. I don't want to bring a child into a home where I'm living on such a tight budget that I can't afford to feed myself and the others living in my home comfortably.

I hate this stress, and it's really taking a toll on me, and he doesn't seem to notice.... or care, probably.
