Husband’s Priorities

My husband works a few part time jobs, mostly from home doing social media work. His hours are very flexible and he watches our son while he works (but if I’m honest he spends most of his time scrolling on X). He just accepted another responsibility for one of his jobs that will cost us more in childcare than he will be bringing in. I want to support his work, but we’re also trying to buy a house and I’m concerned about finances. I just want him to prioritize our family and not what sounds fun to him, and I’m starting to build a lot of resentment. I’m tired of being the breadwinner and I’m angry that I’m likely going to have to pick up hours at my job and lose time with my son.

How is his job responsibility going to cost you more in childcare? You said He watches kids. What am I missing?

Sounds like you should be telling him this and working together as a team. Use "I feel" language. Resentment sounds like you're getting closer to ready to leave him. Give him a chance first if you truly love him.
