A friend is 34 and knows she's running out of time to have a baby with her husband.her husband is a bit younger and works full-time in retail. He knows she wants a baby asap but says he doesn't want one until he's earning better money (they both work full-time, I think he's on about £1500 net take home).
This I can understand to an extent, but the husband only wants a job which specifically interests him, a job he's very passionate about and has dreamed of for a while.
He's not prepared to take any job. He could take on extra shifts, look for another job which might not be something he's really interested in, but it will be stable and might pay slightly more.
He's not necessarily going to get this job tomorrow. Husband doesn't have any qualifications and has never built a career as such. He seems nice but I find his current attitude selfish.
There are many ways he could get extra work or take on a bit more but he's still holding out for this dream career. He doesn't think he can provide for a child.
I feel really sorry for her and I find his attitude very selfish, but don't feel comfortable saying this. What would you advise?
