[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are two separate issues here.

One is that he hasn’t found a new job. This is a very difficult task right now, and it does sound like he should be doing more, but even if he were, you might be in the same spot. For most mid career professionals stuck in one geographic location, an hour a week checking on new postings is actually enough, because you can’t “search” your way into more roles coming on the market.

The second issue is that he is treating this line a sabbatical, during which he should be recharging, doing self-care, and strengthening relationships with friends. But you see him as an accidental SAH partner/homemaker and he is falling far short of your expectations.

By conflating the two issues I think you’re increasing your frustration. [/quote]

If I lost my job and had a SN kid I would immediately get anything to bring some money in - TJ, Starbucks, whatever. And even if he was on a “sabbatical” he would need to do his share of chores. He is a lazy user and there is no coming back from that. [/quote]
