[quote=Anonymous]I'm an underemployed woman with a toddler in full time childcare.  Just to play devil's advocate-it would be really hard to job search/network effectively while caring for two children full time.  In my case, I've been able to pick up enough side work to cover daycare and insurance for me and child.  If that work dries up, I'm not quite sure what we'll do-likely some combination of dropping down to part time daycare and picking up some temp work, even if low paid.  I don't see how he can get his business off the ground while taking care of the kids full time, but it sounds like his timeline to turn a profit on that business is too long to be sustainable for your family.

Could you do something like meet with a financial advisor to map out a five year plan?  It might help to have a neutral observer tell him that his plan isn't workable for the financial survival of your family.  Being unemployed is so demoralizing and it can be very hard to hear your partner say stuff that sounds unsupportive-even if it's true.[/quote]
