My husband does support my homeschooling. We've been doing it for several years now. I didn't just start homeschooling this year when I've been working all along. I've been homeschooling and had a more part time job for 3 years. This year, the person in charge of our program quit and I was told that unless someone took over that position, they would discontinue our program. So, I took the job. Again, because of budget cuts, the job required far more of me than it required of the last person in this position. Lots of the stuff she used to hire out, I was having to do by myself. The first week I started, I worked over 60 hours. I kept thinking that it would get better, but when it did, I was still working at least 40 hours. The kids failed all of their classes the first semester of school. It seemed to be spiraling out of control.
For the person that asked why I didn't give dh more time, we've been discussing the situation for 3 months. I guess you would have to know him, but truly he just cares about me making money. He really doesn't see why I can't just do everything. Sometimes, he would get home from work before I did, but I was still expected to make dinner, do dishes, clean the entire house, do school work with the kids, etc. He does absolutely no house work, yard work, cooking, etc. He makes enough money to have $2000 left over at the end of the month after we pay all of our bills, groceries, gas, and tithing to our church. I just wanted to clarify that so you don't think I'm leaving the family in a bind or something.
After the responses I've gotten on here, I can understand why there are so many abused spouses out there. We are all expected to just buck up and do everything they want no matter how awful it may be. You reach out and try to get a little support for standing up for yourself and everyone just beats you back down. Geez.
