Spouse ideas on you earning money

[MrsTReilly]

I am a SAHM.  I am always looking for ways to save money and earn money.  My husband gets so mad when people ask me if I can babysit, etc for money.  He has even blew up at people saying he makes a good 6 figure income and NO WIFE OF HIS needs to work for money.  I do PTC sites, sew things that I sell online, etc. 

How can I get my hubby to calm down when people offer me work for pay.  Why does he take such offense.  He is hard to talk to and dare not ask him.

Thanks for any ideas.

If just asking him not to blow up and explaining that it hurts your feelings and embarrasses you doesn't work then he is probably always going to be a self absorbed person with an over inflated ego, but then by you feeling the need to post his income level it seems you might have a bit of an ego problem as well.

Careful what you ask for....you just might get it.

I am not sure you can get your husband to calm down. The unfortunate part is that there are men out there that believe the woman's place is in the home. If this is how he feels, then I don't think there is any changing him.  The only thing I can think of to try is to not necessarily make him think it is to make money but rather for you to get out and mingle with other people and feel like you are contributing to the home.  Good luck

im not to sure

he may be over reacting on going mad

but some men want women to stay at home

they think that their place is at home and taking care of the home

its like way back in the 40s or in those black and white shows and movies

when the wife was at home making dinner and cleaning the house and the husbands always came home

to a happy wife

he just maybe wants u to not worry so much about work for he is the one that can take care of u

tho thats my opinion

  He should not be offended...that is his problem. Some men are not democratic...they are very domineering. They want to control and dominate everything. It should not be that way. Talk to him and tell him: It is your right to work and make your own money and it would be to your advantage in this economy to make your own money. I hope he changes his ways of thinking.

In times like this, its good to earn extra money. You could tell him every penny will count.

Thanks for the responses.  I guess he is stuck in a time machine or something.  I know he isn't comfy with hiring "wives and moms" single women he will hire but that is about it.  Probably just a problem I can't fix he has to learn to overcome.  I know when he was in the Marines he did not feel WM's (Women Marines) should be moms or wives also.  I think that is where he had a problem and didn't re-enlist after 4 years.

I just need to learn to be proud of myself and not need his approval.  I am proud of the 3 little checkss I got this week from rebates and PTC sites.  They will go in my sons savings to go towards his college account.  9 more years left to save and the rate of college tuition increases I think every little bit will help.

He needs to stop being so proud and and realize this isn't 1950.  How old is he?  That's some ideas a 70 year old might have.  He needs to realize this will only benefit his family not hurt them.  What are his parents like?  Sounds like he comes from a very traditional family.  If you are going to do these sites then maintain separate accounts to deposit the money. It's ashamed you have to do it behind his back but you have to do what you have to do to provide for your children.  

Have you ever worked outside the home?  Does he give you an allowance for spending money?  I believe every woman needs to know how to make their own money.  You never know what might happen if God forbid something happens to him.  You need your own money and it's good you are making some online.  I would hate to see you so dependent on him for everything. 

When I first started doing PTC's, GPT's, surveys etc my bf laughed and thought I was scamming people.  He's not laughing now when I tell him the money I made.

That's some ideas a 70 year old might have.  

I don't know what kind of 70 year olds you know, but I'm sure not that way and most of the other ones I know could use extra money too.

My husband wants me to stay home and work he does not like me having to go out to make money from someone else.  What I do - he doesn't care.  I take my money and put it into an account so I can show him that we have like vacation money or dinner money and it works - it makes him the bread winner, and it keeps me occupied.  I have a few other business I do online, so I am on the computer at least 10 hrs a day.  Then we spend quality time and then bed and wake up and do it again.  Tell you husband that it is our spending cash!  Bank it and prove it to him - he will be glad you did that!! Trust me it works!

HELLO IM A STAY AT HOME MOM AND ARMY WIFE AND IM LOOKING FOR WAYS TO MAKE MONEY AT HOME IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS THAT HAVE WORK FOR THEM PLS MESSAGE ME BACK.

[silke_spence]

I can understand, you are his homemaker and noone elses, don't be sad that he's offended. A lot of people have negative images of older people who babysit, like they are uneducated or something, he may be oldfashioned, and it is frustrating, but he just wants to protect your image as his wife well, that is what comes to my mind

[clarafromoh]

I work already and I have looked for side work from home I can do and get payed.  MY husband supports me in this and I appreciate that.  He works too and we help each other.
