My daughter is having problems at school, so we have to switch to homeschooling. I quit my job to take care of her, but my husband doesn’t want to pay for everything. He’s used to me helping with bills and doesn’t want to give up his hobbies or expensive things.
What should I do? We agreed that I would stay home with the child, but now I’m doing it all alone without financial support, and on top of that, with complaints.

    If you sign up with a charter school (Sage Oak is one I know of), they will give you money each semester for homeschool supplies and classes etc.... Happy to share more because I homeschool my children as well.  more

  • A flexible home based business would be a great solution for you. There are many options available. Look for one with a low cost of entry, the... ability to make $ fairly quickly and without you having to invest in inventory or meet quotas. more

  • I suggest finding a home based business to bring in some income.

  • there are Four issues here, 1. your child's problem at sch, 2.payment of bills a lone, 3. husband refusal to assist taking care of the child at home... and 4. husband extravagance life. the first issue is for you to identify your child's problem at school school for us to advice. the rest is to hear from your husband if the allegations leveled against him are true. if true we can advice him concerning marital adjusutment. Dr Alaghde, T. more

  • Consider tutoring and/or home schooling other students who have struggles similar to your daughter’s struggles. And both you and your daughter may... want to consider support groups for the issues you are dealing with. This would provide community for your daughter and show you both that you are not alone in your struggles  more

  • I share with the people who suggested doing some work from home. I know that for us, and for many others, homeschool takes up less time each day than... school, and especially as she gets older (don't know how old she is)
    I would also suggest marriage counseling if your husband is not willing to do his part, and especially without complaining, which is very passive-aggressive!

  • You don't tell us the nature of the problem your daughter encountered, so our ability to advice you is limited. that said, it sounds like it's time to... revisit the conversation you and your husband prior to your decision to quit your job, along with the budget that you presumably developed for your current situation.

    What assumptions did you and your husband make at that time that aren't proving to be correct? What options, like changing schools for example, could be put back on the table for re-consideration?

    What advice or assistance can you and your husband get from your local home schooling association?

  • I suggest you look for a career you can do at home to support yourself financially. If he is already not supporting in the long run it will affect you... mentally. You need other sources of financial income.  more

  • With all the respect due, I would suggest that you reevaluate a lot of things. I would do all of this with the assistance of a licensed mental health... professional. I don't like that the first step is to remove the child from school. School is a place where you really are setting yourself up to operate in society and if you cannot operate within society you are bound for a lot of issues. So I would address the issues at the school so my daughter could attend and grow from this. Your issue with your husband is indicative of the type of person that he is and I don't know if that's the kind of person that I would want my children to see growing up. Your husband seems like most of these entitled men who think they should be getting things off of your paycheck. They always claim to be so helpful and strong providers, but as soon as you say you want to quit your job to help his child, he doesn't want to help you do that? He doesn't want to sacrifice for his family? 😔 I would probably have went off on him but I am an Aries 😂 and I don't tolerate disrespect. more

  • Wait a minute!! If you are married, what is is with ‘he helps you pay the bills’ but one does want to pay?! Marriage is a partnership. What is yours... is his and what is his is yours! All the money should be going into ONE family bucket to pay for everything. If circumstances make so luxuries have to go both spouses should expect to give some things up. Large purchases should be agreed to by both or you don’t do them.  more

  • Just be prepared for a better job

  • Be prayerful and ask for directions. This could just be Him directing you to another avenue of provision. Dont panic. Pray

  • I home schooled both our kids from grade K to grade 9. Depending on your State or Province, when you register with a home schooling organization you... will get your home schooling resources paid for. I also worked part time in the evenings and Sundays when my husband was home to watch the children. You can deliver for Skip, uber eats, or deliver groceries for Walmart, or some food stores.

    Ultimately if your husband agreed that you would home school the kids, He needs to step up and be willing to pay for everything. You can't home school the kids and have a full time job, that's not reasonable. He will need to keep the complaints to himself or get a part time job to make up the difference.

    Although we don't have all the toys most of our family and friends have, we don't regret the amazing relationship we have with our kids and the Home Schooling experience we've had.

  • Depending on your daughters issue that keeps her out of regular school (we had that for a year when a daughter developed Pertussis) you may want to... look into a POD learning situation with other nearby parents; each contributes to the student group education based on their expertise.  more

  • I would say that talk to your husband and check the support from people he trusts and see if they have the same idea. If they fail to convince him go... to the counselor and see what you can do.  more

  • I have a home business opportunity for you. You can make money on your home. You don't have to leave your house to make money. Let me know if you're... interested. I give you more inpermission. more
