Tell him to stop being so childish!

I think our OHs might be brothers!

How about challenging him to come up with the money himself. If he REALLY wants them he needs to make some sacrifices. If he downgraded the car, got rid of Sky (if you have it) or sold some of his precious 'toys' he could make the money to buy them.

Sounds to me though that he is quite used to stamping his foot and wailing like a 3 year old and expecting everyone else to jump to attention. Tough love time on that!!! Change your ebay passwords so he can't help himself for a start!

Good luck

he doesn't drive. no provisional or anything so the car is all mine :T

got rid of Sky (if you have it)

I managed to cut the bills last week but he nearly had a fit when i said to downgrade it would mean losing setanta. :rolleyes:

or sold some of his precious 'toys' he could make the money to buy them.

He wanted a Wii at christmas but i told him he wasn't getting one unless he sold ALL his PS2 games and console. I think he honestly thought he was getting one as a surprise but he didn't :rotfl:

I think he realised that when i through him out last year. he realised he can't take the pee pee out of me.

done this the day after the carboot. i still catch him looking over my shoulder if he sees me logging on but he's got no chance. i can touch type so he's not fast enough to see what i'm typing

Good luck

Thank you very much


JACKIEB - i was thinking the same when i read your earlier post. I think there should be a wee planet that they live on and that they only get off it if we need them.

Thanks again guys for all the replies - i've calmed down a lot. just woke him up (he was on nights) to tell him his wages are in and that they are crap so the golf clubs are out the window till he gets a decent paying job

:rotfl:This made me chuckle... thats the sort of thing I would do to OH!
He doesn't think twice about going out 2/3 nights a week and spending £40 at a time, but somehow its my fault that he has no money because I 'steal' it from him..... he has no clue at all how much anything costs, and tells me I'm 'boring him' when I do try to show him. Sometimes u just can't win...

I'd get a bit geeky and spreadsheety about this. I'd make him write down what his outgoings are, and add in mine and graph what rubbish he wastes his on (apologies to the golfers out there but it is rubbish!) and then colour them on a chart. Your money goes on the family, his goes on his boy's hobbies.

About time he grew up and left being a kid to the children!

Whoops, sorry.
I looked at the comment by JackieB and thought it was you! That will teach me to speed read threads!:rotfl: :rotfl:

It's him who insisted I go and spend £2200 on a TV and surround sound, and when we got it, he said if I hadn't wanted to pay that I shouldn't have got it - but he'd whined and moaned so much beforehand, saying what was the point in working away for so long if he didn't have anything to enjoy when he got home....aargh!!

You should have said "In that case - we'll take it back..."
