[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had to dip into our emergency fund pretty substantially this year to cover several unexpected and large expenses (both medical and home related). So can we put food on the table, yes. Are we able to replenish our savings and get us back to a financially stable place, not really. Our HHI is about $160k so we do well, but aren’t super high income.

The extra tutoring money would allow us the flexibility to go on a small vacation this summer or put additional money away.

And do I resent my DH some that he sleeps in until whenever and lays out by the pool while I’m in the office 5 days a week, yes a bit. So I guess that makes me the AH. I also don’t like the pressure of having always been the breadwinner. If I lose my job we are in big trouble financially so I work incredibly hard to always be the high performer while he hangs out all summer at the pool or traveling while I work.

So I will own I’m the AH who should have married better (not the teacher) to avoid these feelings. [/quote]

OP, I don't think you're the AH at all. I would be incredibly frustrated if my husband had 8-10 weeks off because of his schedule and he didn't step up and do more during that time. If money was what was needed, then I would expect him to care about that. If it was just task-related and he could do a lot more to help my life be easier, then I would expect him to do that. And if the roles were reversed, I would step up and do more during that time period. [/quote]
