Workaholic husband?
Posted by admin
SuVmOm asked:
How do you deal with someone that is a workaholic? I feel like I’m raising the kids on my own. He works 60-80+hrs a week and when he’s not at work he will sit on the couch and complain about being tired from work…until they call and then he has plenty of energy to go back. What do I tell the kids when they ask where Daddy is…again…and why he can’t make soccer practice….again…Thanks for any help!
Ok, so I didn’t expect the answers I got. I wasn’t complaining, I was asking for ways to talk to him about it. He actually took a $40,000 paycut so he could spend more time at home. So, yes, I am making cutbacks and spending less on myself and the boys while he is still working the same hours. And, no, he didn’t do this before we were married. I don’t complain about him in front of the kids or even to him. I was just looking for constructive things to say to him. Thanks
