OK, so you will all get your judgy pants on immediately, but I am actually trying to find a way to deal with/help this, ok?
DH's parents never worked. (In the we don't have to sense, rather than skiving sense.) DH was never made to do much in school and when he left school he chose to get involved with drugs rather than work. Despite this, he is very bright and did bother to go back and get a degree.
So while being a fuckwit, he was arrested and spent a couple of years in prison. Since coming out he has had various jobs every now and then but really has just been very lucky with property and manages to get by.
Since the birth of our children he has decided that we need to have some proper income coming in and get a bigger house. Great.
Here's the thing. He has started a new business and is working quite hard, but I can see the signs a mile off. He is beginning to complain about how he just isn't cut out for full-time work(whatever) and it's too hard/too boring/too much work.
He is a lazy fucker and I don't know how to make him realise that ALL OF US IN THIS WORLD do things we don't want to do because this is how life is. I am worried he's going to give up and we'll be stuck living on next to nothing for ages.
He thinks that life should be about enjoying yourself and seems to have no concept of work.
I am so tired of it. How do I help him?
