[quote=Anonymous]Why is he not working? Did you agree one parent would be home?

I’d make a plan for summer since he likely needs to be home now if you do not have care lined up. For short-term, I’d do what others suggested and list at all chores ( meals, grocery, laundry, lawn, bathrooms, etc) and then have him commit. Depending on dc age could also assign them a few tasks. Explain you are overwhelmed and need help.

Next, I would discuss how to support him beginning to look for pt work as it will take a while. I am a dw and while I absolutely can understand how one can, and might want to stay home, once dc are in school the sah parent can absolutely find at least some work. I am saying this for those that need/ want the money.

I went back pt because I really wanted to but I have many sah friends who did not.  However, most did not need the money. One or two did/do ( as they complain about lack of) but always had an excuse. For those who always have an excuse, you have to try and drill down to find out what’s really the issue.

I could never not work if my family needed the money. I am also very organized and disciplined so sah was not hard for me    in terms of housekeeping but I felt I needed something more.

I hope you can resolve this. Wishing you the best.[/quote]
