Abuser Logic 101: it’s fine to tell your loving seven year old that her yammering excitement for daddy is going to get him canned and the whole family thrown out on the street, because it provides her with an explanation. It’s a teachable moment for DD, so it’s all good.  [/quote]Maybe your husband has been provided many privileges, but my coworkers of color have been canned for having a pulse.  There is even a post in the jobs forum about retaining the white males.  I'm glad you have never had a father/husband/wife/breadwinner lose their job but it isn't always easy.  OP didn't say what her parents' contribution to the rainy day fund was, nor did she mention a vacation/second home they could use should her husband lose her job.  Read the post in this forum on contagious divorce about the executive losing his job and how it tore their family including kids apart.  Yes, people moving into shelters in bad economies is REAL.  OPs husband is a realist and she is a bully.[/quote]

Is taking a 90 minute break while working from home in order to attend your kid’s practice one time really likely to result in the family becoming homeless? The appropriate response is something like, “I wish I could go to your practice. That would be a lot more fun than what I’m doing, but I have work that has to be done this afternoon. Even though I’m at home, this is still part of the work day. I have to get my work done because that is how we get the money to pay for everything we need. After dinner you can show me what you worked on at practice today, okay?”[/quote]
