I don't want to.......

Seems that hubby wants me to go back to work FULL-TIME, so he can go back to school and better his education.  He absolutely loves his job, but hates the way his boss treats him and the other "heathens"  in office as well.  There are a few exceptions to this, but most are sleeping around, cheating on their wives, divorcing, drinking, living a "who cares as long as I am happy" lifestye and it is driving DH nuts.  His boss has just recently decided she needs to be even more controlling and witchy (sorry for the strong language), than she has been in the past.  If he has 2 appointments outside the office back to back, she calls him on the cell phone to make sure he is on the way to the second appointment..which she never did before.  She smokes and will stand out at the back dock adn smoke for 20-30 minutes visiting with the others, but DH can't take 2 minutes to go and deposit his check from work.  She has started monitoring everyhting coming in his email box (we don't send personal emails anyway, so I don't know whta she thinks she is going to catch).  She wasn't this bad about a month or two ago and now all of a sudden she has started breathing down his neck in a most annoying way.  This among many many other things.  He is a hard worker and takes pride in his job and his work, but he is going nuts.

So.........................he is looking around at schools, trying to figure out with God's help, what he wants to DO with the rest of his life in job career and he wants me to work full-time, put Noah in daycare, and support him. 

Now don't take this wrong, because when you get down to it, I would do anything for my family you understand......BUT I DON'T WANT TO!!!!!!!  When we got married, I was working and we decided I would continue to do so, until he got a job that would support us and possibly a baby.  Well, it wasn't long until I became pregnant (OOPS!), and he was offered a new job making as much as both of our jobs put together.  So I quit and stayed home the rest of the pregnancy and have been home all of Noah's 15 months of life.  I want to stay home with him and we have spoken several times about possibly homeschooling when he is of age and I am afraid everything is going down the tubes on this.  If I go back to work, I know I won't be homeschooling and I don't know for how long DH will be in school....possibly several SEVERAL years (more than 4).  So I am taking this opportunity to whine about how it seems our lifelong goals in life are falling apart at the seams today.  I don't like to complain to hubby because he thinks I am being selfish about all this, so I am complaining here instead.

We had a small conversation about this before he left for work, and I ended up crying.  Emotionally, I have just had about all I can handle and laid awake for hours after going to bed at 10pm worrying about this situation and I honestly don't want to htink about it or face it right now, but that is the reality of what I am dealing with and I must face it.  Up until 3 days ago, we were still planning on getting the house up for sale, moving to the small town we lived in before Noah was born where most of our friends and our church, as well as DH's current job is located.  It will cut down on our $250.00 a month gas budget tremendously, but now everything has changed at the drop of a hat and I don't know what to do!

sorry, I may be out of line here, but to have your dh tell you that you are selfish to want to take care of his children, in a way that NO ONE else can, is selfish of him. HE *wants* to go back to school, HE *wants* you to go back to working outside the home, does he want Noah in daycare? is he aware of all the problems that happen even in the best of daycares?
He sounds like a hard worker and a good provider. is there another company where he can do what he is doing in a better environment? it just sounds to me like he is frustrated at work and looking for change. deciding to go back to school is the easy choice "for good reasons" instead of putting himself "out there" looking for a new and better job.
anyway.... on a lighter note, maybe he can take up smoking too and take 40 minute breaks "BSing" with the boss! lol..... amusing that smokers (and I noticed this when I worked, too) always seem to think that because they smoke, they get more breaks than anyone else.

I will be praying for you in this situation. Maybe a way will open up that he could go to school and you could still stay home- my brother was unhappy in his job, and so he found one (at UPS) that will pay bills and provide insurance, as well as paying for his college classes (they pay for all classes, as long as he passes!). He works nights, and takes classes during the day. Hard on him, and on his wife and their three kids, but in the long run, they both feel it is worth it, as that way Julie is home with the kids, and David will end up in a job that he enjoys, and that has more of a future. God has a plan for you, and I'm learning that even if we can't understand what that plan is right now, He is still in control!

Seems like when we get one thing straightened out in our lives, another one hits us, huh? And this is a doozy! I'll be praying for both of you-that he gets totally clear direction from God as to what to do and for you that you can handle whatever it is! Bless your heart!!
