This may not have occurred to you but you should consider it:\na lot of men feel pressure after they have children, buy homes ect. to maintain the same lifestyle as before and in his eyes he may be diong the extra time at work for YOU and your child, he most likely feels that it is His responsability to take care of you and to provide for you so you should remember that if this is his mind set he may feel that it is a sacrifice he is making for his family.\nyou absouloutly need to keep that in mind and sit down together and talk to him about it, tell him that you know he might feel pressure to take care of you and your child or children,  and that it isn't that you don't appricate his efforts , it is just that you miss your time together and as important as the finances may be, that you would prefer adjusting your lifestyle to less money than to adjust to having him away so often.\nthis will put thing in a way he will find eaiser to understand and he will not feel nagged or threatened.

I know the feeling! I work full time and my husband is disabled and home 24/7. He takes care of the housework (it may not be like I do it, but it's done & clean), laundry, cooks most nights and takes care of my 15 & 13 year olds. If they need to go somewhere, he takes them. My whole family blames him for us not having everything they do. I wish they could live in his body for one day and maybe then they'd understand. It works for us but it's not mainstream so everyone else thinks he's a freeloader. Sorry, I can sympathize with you, but I can't help.

yes its ok, in most family's both parents work. I bet there is some time when you don't need to be in the house and you could get a job. do it if you need the money or if its something you want to do. your happiness should be one of his highest priorities.

Yep, definitely typical teenager.  Sorry to tell you, but you are.  Your parents love you.  I know it doesn't seem that way now.  We all go through exactly what you're going through.  Trust me, if your parents didn't love you, they wouldn't care at all about what you do.  You may hate school, but you will never get anywhere if you don't go.  You'll always have a dead-end job.  You'll be struggling from paycheck to paycheck and not be able to take care of a family.  I know you're young and know everything, but in a couple of years you will realize you know nothing and you should have listened to your parents.  My parents were strict, too, and now I appreciate it.  More than you can imagine.  My friends who had parents that let them do whatever ended up in trouble and have horrible lives now.  I realize now that my parents were right.  And now I'm raising my 2 small children the same way.  I'm 24 and wish I could take back all the things I did to my mom when I thought she was being to strict.  I snuck around and did things she didn't approve of.  You don't realize it now, but you'll regret it.  I promise.  However, on the good side of things, at least you're going through this now.  Every single person has to go through this stage in some form or another.  If they don't do it in their teenage years, they'll do it as an adult.  And that can result in horrible problems.  I have a friend going through that now and it's awful.  I know you're angry with your parents and I know it sucks, but you'll appreciate it one day.  Just please realize that your parents do love you.  They care enough to worry about you.  Be grateful you don't have parents who don't give a crap what happens to you.  You are a lucky kid.  I know you probably don't care a bit what I say, but at least think about it.  Don't take advice from other people your age....they're going through it just as you are.  Take advice from people who have already been through it.  If not from me, then from someone you know who's older and been there done that.  Stop trashing your parents....they are the only ones you have.  And will ever have.  imagine your life without them....honestly, and not with the anger....

I've read some of your posts here, and you seem basically like a very sweet person, so I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon and condemn you out of hand.  I suppose everyone wants to feel spoiled, men as well as women.  I don't think there's any easy answer to your question.  It's not like going to the 7-11 to find day laborers!  I suggest you take up dancing--swing, Zydeco, ballroom, contra-dancing, whatever--something that you can go to alone, meet lots of people, have a good time, and maybe find a decent guy that you deserve.

My husband is home every week only Friday through Monday. It is hard for me as we have 3 children, so I am basically a single mom during the time he is away.

Look stop being lazy there will be plenty of time later to be lazy, you dont want to end up another statistic and by that I mean another loser living in America making minimum wage living in your parents basement.  So get up and study do it for yourself man, if not you will be throwing yourself pity parties later hoping and wishing you had studied.

The situation is complicated.  You need an adult to deal with an adult.  So the best for you would be to find an parent, relative, friend who will speak up for you and on your behalf.  Only then will you get the real attention you need and the paycheck you deserve.  Otherwise, you are being taken advange of and it will continue as long as you let it happen to you.

OK wow this kinda hard i would need the guy that's there for me but i don't know how long i would be able to handle him not being ambitious and wanting a better life of his own there is no room for people like that this is America

Start respecting yourself more than that!!!!! This man is paying you for services. kick him to the curb. If was giving you money to help you out he wouldn't want to sleep with you. Pay him back when you get on your feet and find someone who respects you. Don't let a man use you like that.

Run for the hills, your kids and you deserve betterr than what your man has to offer...lets say one day you make tons of money, do you want your man to leach off you the rest of your life. Your kids deserve the best in this world...life is precious, i commend you for trying so hard to live the American Dream...Ditch the zero and get with a hero!!!\n\nGood Luck, Jo Jo

You both have tough jobs, and I can't see you affording a maid service. I would suggest a 60% for you and 40% for him.\nWhy don't you sit down, and write up a list of all the household chores, that need doing, and see if you can't work out some equitable schedule. \nThere will be some jobs, he doesn't mind doing, and the same for you. Forget about percentages, as long as you both pitch in, then neither of you will feel put upon.
