Does your partner support you?

[MsFit]

my partner is really supportive.
I have 3 kids and he is always there to help me out with them. and helps them with their homework too.
We go to college together full time as well, and he is always there to help me out when I need help.
He's my tutor, lol.
I feel lucky to have him

Thanks for asking this question but my partner is supporting me every time.

My husband is an awesome support system. He's seen the money it brings in and he sees that I'm happy and proud of what I do and he supports it greatly. He also likes it when it's time for "research" lol so yes, my husband is my number 1 fan!

When I am trying to start my new career as an WAH transcripionist I have to start out making the small amounts of money and work my way up. I"m starting with general transcription, and in the fall semester, i'm starting classes for medical transcription. I wanted to make sure I liked transcription before I jumped all the way in.

Hubby just says, your not making anything. Which I did only make $64 last month, but this month will be better. I am taking care of our 11 month old daughter too. But he just wants me to get a p/t job out of the house and then be available when he gets home from work. Cause now I am on the computer when he gets home, and he hates that. Even though he's usually outside anyhow.

How do you deal with this negativity and make it positive? Help?

Thanks.

My husband is so supportive, and he encourages me to work from home as much as I can to be at home with our daughter.

My husband is very supportive, anything that I want to do or have, he is always on board with me.

I do agree.. my hubby is also very supportive in my work life.

I wish I could say mine was. He has brought up the 'it's not a real job, it's not working, you're getting paid practically nothing, you need to work outside the home'. Unfortunately, he dumped me last night and kicked me out of our house and my working from home was one of the problems he had with me.

Oh my goodness...that's terrible. I'm so sorry. I feel so bad for you. Are you okay? Sometimes I feel like the only people or person that understand are the people on this forum because some of them are going through the exact same thing.

Mine has threatened to leave many times, hasn't done it yet. Now we have a little girl and he's not going to leave her. But our issue isn't just me working at home, we have other money issues, and the short version of the story is we had to move into my parents house then I found out I was pregnant. So it's us, with the baby girl and the cats, and the grandparents, Which is very stressful, especially for my husband who is used to his own space.

Hopefully yours will come to his senses and realize he needs you and money isn't everything is a relationship.

WorkPixie and Emery: I'm so sorry to hear you don't have support. I'm kind of an old fashioned gal and I think that men should be providing (as much as they can) for their families. If we work also, they should be supportive I feel. It does kind of irk me when I hear of the men complaining that the wives aren't "doing enough". You're living in your parent's house? With a baby? Really?

Sorry to say this, and please don't be offended, but you might be better off without both of them. You guys need men that can take care of you and the babies.

Is this the kind of life you want to live, is what you have to ask yourself.

Hugs to both of you!

P.S. No money isn't everything, but it's important. If workpixies ex is verbally abusive (and that's what it is), trust me, she doesn't want to go back to that!
