[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is the sole provider of our family while I stay at home. I am also a full time college student and our plan has always been that once our youngest (19 months) hits kindergarten, that I will return to work. Right now, my husband supports me staying at home and understands that with the costs of childcare, it is pointless for me to work right now. Even though I have his support as a stay at home mom and full time college student, I am having a hard time figuring out how I can support him/lift him up when he works way too much and we aren't where we'd like to be financially.

I keep reminding him that where we are as a family is a phase. We won't be a one income family forever but it isn't changing tomorrow either. We have everything we need (food, shelter, clothes on our backs) but my husband wants to be able to save and live a little without being paycheck to paycheck. I understand that as a man, he takes great pride in providing for us, and I make it a point to let him know that I appreciate him and his hard work.

What else can I do? Besides the obvious: don't spend what we don't have?

Thank you! [/quote]

Men don't generally need presents, especially if all of your money is coming from his job and money is tight. I tell my wife that lingerie for her counts as presents for me. If you go buy something slinky (or even kinky) and surprise him with it that will go a LONG way.

OP Here.

Yea, I wasn't going to get him a gift. He isn't a gift type person anyway.

Thanks. [/quote]
