[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My best friend is like this. It wasn't so apparent when we were growing up (she was UMC), but when she married someone just like her it got really intense. Living like grad students is very true. I love my best friend and I'm just mystified by her lifestyle. Every few years they just pack up the car and move to another city. They don't bring belongings. Everything is sparse in their homes, but it's because they want it that way and not poverty. He only wears white button downs. They eschew all adult responsibilities. Conversations get stranger every time I see them, such as: Why do you go to work? Are you just working to retire? Why pay taxes? She had their children at home, they homeschool and work just enough for food. They do have successful careers, and their careers allow them to pick up extra work if they want it.

I read a book once called "possum living" and it really summed up their lifestyle. [b]I think what annoys me is that they're essentially using services that the rest of us pay for with taxes.[/b]

I hope your husband will change once your baby is born. "Nightly dinner sandwich" doesn't cut it when you need to eat as a family every night together. It seems like your husband wants to be more free spirited, so maybe you could do something that makes him feel that way. If he just keeps building up resentment, it will get worse. Also, he's probably feeling a bit tied down by the baby already. He doesn't know what it will be like and might be worried. I've heard lots of new dads say things like that[/quote]

What services are those?[/quote]
