He told me No?

So after so many years of being a stay at home 1950s type of wife.. I managed to bag myself a temp job just as lockdown came to support our family and I'm loving it.. thing is I dont think dh is... I'm only doing 3x 8 till 5 shifts a week and I said I wanted to do an extra shift.. extra money and also as it is only temp just know, also to try and keep it at the end of this lockdown too. My ds is going to go to nursery full time and my other two kids will be back at school too...I'm not wanting to just be here again... alone.. isolated... a maid again.... I want to be working... I've had so much already from working, I'm happier, gaining confidence and realising I do have strengths and skills to offer.. and I'm getting a lot of praise from customers too which is lovely..
Mentioned to dh this morning and said I'd like to take another shift on and he told me a striaght NO, we dont have the time and walked out to work.. I've been so annoyed about it all day like hold on a min if I want to work and is the only on able to be working and bringing in money just know shouldn't this be a joint decision not just his 😖

I started my temp job because we were going into lockdown and my dh business would be shut down.. I got the job to keep bringing in "some" form of money to help us, dh was in worry about the lockdown and since I was working part time it took away stress from him knowing we were stable.. that was the main reason I started but whilst working I enjoyed it and it is only part time as dh said we would loose if I were to work any more shifts, dh is here for activities and so am I the days I'm not working, and the days I'm not working hes now going into work, althonhe isnt supposed to so he can prep for sales when the lockdown finishes.. I wanted to do extra shift to gain more money coming in for us just know as Its really up in the air if sales will start coming in straight away and hopefully gain a job once it had lifted,

Last night he asked me so why now what's the real reason really you want an extra shift? Because whilst hes off I had the chance to create a job for myself and when everyone goes back to work school nursery etc I didnt want to be just home by myself and we both knew we needed the money.. I got the feeling he was expecting a different answer.

Things will go bk to the usual way.. only difference is he would need to help me so I can go part time, until ds is settled into nursery, he will have our ds for one shift he said he can work with that as he can bring his computer home. Hes self employed, at the moment I was trying to do as many as I could whilst he wasnt supposed to be open to bring in as much as possible and get a job at the end of it
