The only thing is, I think he likes not having the responsibility, so maybe he wont want it back!

I find that.. I keep tring to get Ste involved but he doesn't want to!

The two sentences in bold don't square up well with one another. If he knows he can't have it - why does he destroy the peace?

Its more a case of him going on and on about it til I give in!

You know - you've got to stand firm. I hope you're stronger with your littler kids...

Hi, IA, just wanted to say at least he's not asking for a PS3 like my OH - £400 :eek:
He's got a PS2 and he never uses it but apparently a PS3 will turn our lives around as it is also a Blueray DVD player.
Thankfully, he knows there's no way we can afford it at the moment but he thinks he will be buying one when I get a job.
He will have another think coming to him very soon!!!

Lol Immoral, sorry for the major thread hijack - I was just intending to say that I understood what you meant about Steve and the guilt feelings, but it turned into a bit of a major discussion. It was interesting though, and I did ask hubby if he was happy with how we do things when he got in - he said he is (phew...), and he doesn't feel as though I treat him like a kid, thanks goodness.

And we didn't mention the ironing at all......:D

sorry, that wasn't meant to sound like I think my problems are worse than yours and why are you moaning.

Just read it and thought it might come across that way. Not meant to!

Snaggles doesn't feel guilt because he's asked whether he can have something, she feels guilt because he can't. She wouldn't feel guilty though if he didn't ask, and if knew enough about the families finances in the first place, then he'd know not to ask

You can manage without cash -

Not in this country, with this set up.


Anyway enough of partners and reasons for feeling guilty you have your opinion , I have mine. I want to ask IA if she found a cheap tv stand and if so where cos I'm after one myself.

.

Let him know more about the family finances so he doesn't ask in the first place cos he knows the answer. If the question isn't asked there'd be no guilty feelings.

And changing the subject since we obviously have different opinions, did you get a cheap tv stand IA? and if so where from cos I'm after one myself.
