| Thank you gals so much for your support! I feel like I have real sisters to talk to ( I don't have any "real sisters" ) and it is just wonderful to be able to get all of this encouragement and advice. Alee, we do have insurance through my hubby's work, our prenatal visits are costing about $25 a visit, so I'll be hoping for less, but planning for a number like yours or Siobhan's. That's a lot to come up with! |

One week of starbucks will pay for Dave Ramsey's class. You should both go together, he may just wake up and smell the coffee (not starbucks)!
Age only matters if you are wine or cheese.

Just remember men and women are wired differently. We see situations from different viewpoints. Tell him how you felt and what you expect and move on! You need to be relaxed for this baby. They respond to your tension and frustration. Focus forward. Remember all those times he did the "right" thing.

I guarantee you, after the very first Dave Ramsey class, his eyes will be opened to the mistakes that he is making financially. He will be blown away. The statistics of debt are crazy and the majority of people out there are totally oblivious. Your husbands friends and coworkers are probably all in significant debt if they make the same $$$ and are getting a starbucks every day. Like you said, you don't know what their financials are, but if that's a priority for them, I guarantee you they're not good. Seriously...look into the classes and see if you guys can make one. And if your hubby objects to the $100 enrollment fee, you tell him you have a farmgirl sister (me) who's willing to pay for your class so you guys can go and have a "date night" and learn finances together. The class isn't difficult and it really doesn't take a ton of effort to follow the principles right away. Your eyes will both be opened to a world you never knew and it will be SO beneficial! Do the leg work. Get the information and then present him with the idea.

Melissa, I am sad for you and know that you love your Husband but, he is completely in the WRONG. That is no way to treat some one you love. I agree with the other ladies that you need to set boundaries and just calmly explain to him that in case he forgot he is a father now and a husband and therefore has responsibilities It Is Not All About Him any longer.

| Thank you ladies! I have talked to him about the not calling thing - the original reason for the post - and he's said "okay, I'll call next time". So we'll see if that actually happens or not. I will take your advice and find a Dave Ramsey class in our area. Thanks Siobhan for your support and insistence! I know it must be a wonderful tool if you're willing to offer something like that. :-) I will get all the information together, then present it all to him with a date and time already. |

Melissa, we are all like that - trying to be optimistic but some times it is just hard. But you sound good - we all need to just keeping walking forward and looking up.
My husband is going in for a surgery today, early afternoon. I would not be concerned at all if his heart was functioning at a higher level. It will most likely come out okay but still I am just a bit concerned. He is being very quiet this morning...course, he is starving as they have asked him not to eat since 12:00 am.
Good to see all your messages - Kris
For I know the plans I have for you...Jer.29:11 |

Kris, I'll be praying for your husband and you, of course. I'm sure everything will turn out well. Let us know how things go.
