Didn't even want me to look into it. You know what?? I think the man is jealous!! Why can't he just be excited for his son getting this opportunity? Son feels so shot down and said to me last night "it's hard to be excited about anything in this house isn't it." I feel like I have so much to apologize for to him. He isn't even asking for us to pay for it and h is being like this. He's going to move out when he's 18 just to get away from his dad i know it. My h is really f'd up, isn't he. Sigh.

Your husband could be more understanding. But maybe the money really isn't there? It's humiliating for a man to admit that he doesn't have the resources to give his family what they need. Hence a grumpy response.
