[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously he would need to get the drinking under control, but if he’s great with the kids and you love him, why don’t you take over the primary breadwinner position and let him take over the primary childcare role? You are planning to set up a career for yourself if you leave anyway.[/quote]

Do not do this! He will not take care of the kids and you will be doing everything while working full time. The same reasons he keeps getting fired are going to infuriate you about how he deals with kids. He’s going to miss deadlines for signing up for preschool and kindergarten. He’ll forget doctors appointments. The house will be a mess, the kids will be poorly cared for. You’re going to hate your life.

This just postponed the divorce by a year or two. [/quote]

Exactly.

Is there any way your parents could provide childcare while you go back to work or school? Because if that's not feasible, you should get out now. A person who is a heavy drinker despite young kids AND who loses jobs (likely related to the drinking) has no business being the primary parent and anyone who is suggesting that is irresponsible.
