To make this short...DH keeps pushing me to apply for a job that would involve working evenings and weekends ( both of which he refuses to do himself BTW).
I work from home ATM which leaves me available for the DCs at all times such as school holidays, inset days, sicknesses etc.
It will never make me a millionaire but it makes about £600 per month which covers all food, petrol, clothes and toys etc (DH never even bought a pair is socks for them).
This job would also mean leaving the DCs with him every evening and asking my mum to look after them at the weekend, which I'm not happy about either.
He seems to think that unless you actually work outside the home then it's not real work.
AIBU to be pissed off?

Thank you for all the advice.
I am going to take a long hard look at the whole situation and decide how to move on.
I don't know yet whether that means a split or counselling or what, but I need some thinking time in light of what majority of posts on here point out.

I think you can have a scatter bomb approach and get a little counselling, a little legal advice, call Women's Aid to see if it's financial abuse, call Relate etc. See what is useful.
