My dh has had a business for 7 years. In the past i have worked there with him but the last few years we have started to home educate our 6 children as some of the have autism and learning difficulties which we really creating issues at school.
So now I stay at home with them full time.
My dhs business has limped along for all those years. It supports 4 staff and basic costs but it leaves us with a small amount of money for ourselves at the end of the month - we would be earning pretty much the same each month if he worked a minimum wage job somewhere else.
We have never been able to take our kids on holiday, we buy everything in charity shops and I’m totally sick of dh being stressed and miserable. He leaves the house at 6am and gets back at 7pm on a good day or 10-11 on a bad.
If he was doing his job for someone else we would be more than comfortable it’s a relatively well paid occupation but my dh “hates working for other people”.
He often ends up working weekends as well so there is no time of day where I can get any kind of part time Work .
I do have a small online business which I make a little money from this goes towards extra expenses for example all Christmas costs will come from this.
But realistically I have 6 children to look after, and educate plus trying to run this little side business to meet my costs.
Dh has now said he wants to give up the business so I started getting my hopes up things would improve. But he starting a NEW business .
I feel like crying. Aibu to want him to just give it all up?
