My husband has annoyed me!!!
My husband has really peed me off today. Im am due to go back to work full time in April and am really dreading it. I feel like im going to miss out on loads. He has always said that if we could afford it he wouldnt have a problem with me going part time. Anyway i have worked it out and if i worked Monday - Thursday we wouldnt be very much worse off. I only work 5 hours on a friday anyway but have an hours commute each way. If i didnt work friday we would be ??15 a week worse off. I think its well worth the loss of ??15 a week so i can have an extra day with our daugher.
However he says he wants me to go back full time so we can have the extra money. He knows exactly how i feel cos i have told him. I dont know what i can do to persaude him to let me do this. I know we can manage fine on the disposable income we will have. People manage to live on quite a bit less than we will have. I have also said that if we stuggled i would go back to full time.
Sorry for rambling i just needed to have a moan.

I have been talking to mine about having another three months maternity for months and he is just comning round to the idea now!!
I think men can feel quite resentful of us being at home. i can't blame them because i would if it was the other way round.
I expect he is worried with tthe current financial situation. Let him think about it for a while, he will realise it makes sense how much notice do you have to give? Make sure he knows when you would have to let work know. I bet he changes his mind.
