To WORK or Not To WORK???

I was doing some shopping when the husband asked me if he could buy the rubix cube he saw at the toy store. I asked him how much and he said, "50bucks". Before I said yes, I suggested that it's better if he'll buy something useful like a pair of jeans or shorts. He totally brushed me off with a sarcastic remark " Never mind." What did I do??? I'm being practically. A pair of jeans is way better than a toy that might get broken after a day or two. After that conversation, I continued with my shopping. I saw this nice short skirt and I wanted to know his opinion. He casually said " OKAY, buy it." All the while I thought, he liked it because it looks good on me but NO, at the back of his mind he was thinking another penny spent out of my wallet. I was so hurt when I discovered that. We were eating dinner and he blurted out "I was just asking for 50bucks and you said NO while you bought an expensive skirt." I was appalled. On my part, it was just a practical suggestion. I was going to give him the money, anyway.

It's really hard if you're not working. If you're not putting any food on the table. I'm a homemaker by choice and mutual decision. It's not just me who made that DECISION few years ago. Though, according to him, it was just a meaningless retort, I took it otherwise. I'm now contemplating on finding a stable work and risk leaving my toddler with his yaya just for the sake of having my OWN money.
