It's No Good!!
Sorry bit of a rant/plea for advice!
I know that we would be ok money wise if we had a baby now, I have spent ages doing research into benefits etc, we wouldn't be very well off but we would have enough to get by. Hubby doesn't agree, he doesn't understand that we would actually be eligable for a fair amount and just looks at his salary and forgets that I do actually bring something into the income too. I do understand he wants everything to be perfect (though he really put me on a guilt trip saying he didn't want to 'ruin it' for the baby, indicating that I do!) but he won't listen when I (or anyone else for that matter!) tell him we'll be ok.
Obviously i'm not going to go into the ins and outs of our finances-its a bit complicated but I would just like some advice on how I can bring him round to the idea, if I try to talk to him about it he gets annoyed with me and just shuts off. He does let me go on about babies and stuff in general and will look at anything I show him on the net so it's not all bad I suppose. Just feel really blue about it all atm
