I have name changed because I think I outed myself on another thread.
My husband is a self employed Chef. he owns his own business and freelances to cover quiet periods.
The only problem is he is throwing good money after bad with his business, as well as having taken out a substantial loan to set it up. We are so short of money that half our bill payments bounced this morning. We have 2 young children and I'm on maternity leave.
I am due back at work in 2 months but ds1 doesnt get his free playgroup place until jan so it would cost us £8.50p/h for childcare for 2 children and I only earn £7.20 p/h. DH set up his business so I didn't have to go back to work at all but now we are in a massive fucking hole and there seems to be no way out. and to top it all off the hours of a chef are horrific, he is hardly ever home and when he is home he's too tired to do much with the boys. It all feels a bit hopeless at the moment and I'm not sure what to do. I want Dh to quit his business but it seems an awful thing to ask. I really don't know what to do.
