OH started reselling a couple of months ago and done really well but it's time consuming he's up all night and up early.

I'm working full time 40 hours and studying still looking after the kids in between doing dinners breakfast etc.

He's constantly telling me to log in and try and get things to sell going on and on. I'm sick to death of it he's constant. I feel like the kids are being neglected no one plays with them their propped in front of the tv all day and just play with their toys.DS is at nursery for a few hours so at least he is getting some stimulation. However DD just plots around sometimes sits with me whilst I work but I just feel like a crap mum.

I'm having to book holidays just so I can spend sometime with the kids and catch up on housework.

AIBU?

What is he selling? Via Facebook or something? I don’t think you should hell no!!

Is he going to pay you commission, or a competitive hourly wage? If so then go for it. If not, he can get to fuck.

Reselling? Do you mean selling stuff you own on ebay or something or is he buying stuff to resell it?

What is his actual job or it it this??

What is he selling? I wouldn't know, and unless there's a desperate need for extra income I'd be annoyed by this if it means the kids aren't getting as much interaction etc..

You aren’t a crap mum OP, your O is a crap dad. Tell him to pull his fucking finger out, stop being a dick and start being a parent, otherwise you’ll give him away for free.

Jesus, there seem to be more posts than usual about useless men today.

How much do you need the money? If he’s earning enough to pay your bills, buy groceries and pay the mortgage that’s worlds different to him earning a few extra quid for your holiday funds.

Can you both share housework and childcare during the day and do selling together after the children are asleep each night?
