He does not want to talk about it with me or comment. He just does not seem to care. This really frustrates me and makes me angry! How will I be able to do it alone? We have two kids together and I have a hard time getting him to take care of anything at the house or with the kids so that I can work the business. It makes me think he is not concerned about our future. Reply to this Question

However the income is not sufficient and we hardly ever have the opportunity to save much. Our children are 7 and 11 and my husband and I have been married for 7 years.

 Does he hold a full time job at the moment? How old are your kids? How long have you both been married?

 God how many women out there can relate to this. Girl its up to you to set him straight on a few things. They are his kids too and he needs to start taking abit more responsibility. Women often complain about husbands not helping around the house but they wont do anything to change it. Tell him exactly what you need him to do eg clean the bathroom or other tasks and what times you need him to take care of the kids. Maybe even draw up a roster he may laugh at you at first but if you show him that you mean business he will have to listen. Get on with this business and make a go of it. You can do anything if you put your mind to it. Tell him he has left you no choice but to act in this manner but if he has any suggestions you will discuss it with him. He has got away with it up until now but you have let him see that you mean business. Things will not change unless you make them. Stand up and be counted as there are too many men out there leaving everything to their wives home, kids, billls etc. They feel they go to work and that is all they have to do. I have six children and a husband who works long hours I used to be in your position but made things change. I now have a life and not only does my husband participate alot more but my children are all responsible for helping too.
Good luck
