Thank you for the ideas! He has actually been working on his resume...
I suppose some people have misinterpreted what I wrote. He is far from finding the work degrading! He is more than happy to be doing something of help! In fact, he has been a great help and takes initiatives in the household chores. I work nearby so sometimes he is able to bring me lunch--a fact that sometimes brings on some thoughtless remarks or looks from people who don't understand the situation and can't understand why I am working and he is at home and bringing me lunch. He has never once complained about doing the work around the house (and he is a great cook!)....yet, he is a man and while he knows it is out of his hands, he know it is his position as head of the house to be the breadwinner. It makes it a bit more difficult since we are still waiting for our apartment to be finished and don't have our own place yet. Plus, he can't drive since they won't give him a license and we live in a more rural area where driving is necassary to get to just about anywhere. Some days there isn't a lot to be done....
Please don't misjudge my husband. He hasn't once complained about doing the household work. I just know how he feels to be the "man of the house" and not able to work. Its tough. Yes he knew that coming and he hasn't regretted coming. But it can still be rough. You don't have to like it, even if you know it going in.
Please don't judge on matters you don't know.
