My husband recently got a new job that pays much more money than we ever had. Before we were barely getting by and always felt deprived. I thought having this extra money would mean we could do more special family outings or do nice things for our girls like take them shopping for stuff they couldn’t have before. But all my husband ever thinks about is what he wants and buys it as soon as he gets paid. Last week he suggested taking a family day trip to Seattle to go see a sighting and visit Pike Place Market this weekend. But after he just purchased a new car stereo, and new subs and amp to go with it, there’s not a lot leftover. I’m really ticked off because I was looking forward to taking our girls to Seattle for some fun and shopping. I try talking to him about his spending but then he goes off saying how he works hard and deserves to get himself whatever he wants. What about me?! I spend 24 hours a day at home cleaning, cooking, and taking care of our children. He thinks I laze around all day watching television but he doesn’t realize how hard and stressful it is. I don’t know how to get it through to him that he has a family to consider and he needs to stop acting like he’s a young bachelor. I don’t feel like there is much else I can do other than to keep “nagging” as he puts it. His selfish ways are really ticking me off!
