I see what you mean about our hubbys being similar. Scary! Hey, let's turn lesi and all our problems will be solved! We can trade off kids and work shifts, the house will always be clean, and noone will complain that the other isn't doing enough! ;-p

Another thing a person can do at home is
teach beginners how to play a musical instrument. I taught the violin to beginners for 3 1/2 years. I just started out with a nice low rate, and after getting more exposure, raised my prices gradually.

You Will Manage
Maybe your husband just needs some acknowledgement and encouragement to stay with this job. I can feel for him. Most of the working people have that similar problem as your husband faces. Several times a month, if not a week, I think of resignation. But I am still doing what I am doing. He might need some hobbies to distract him. Work to live, not live to work.
As to additional income, maybe you could let people in the neighborhood know that you are available to help with errands for an hourly pay, say baby sitting, shopping ... Just an idea. You write very well, there is even a huge market for writing resumes for people.
Good luck.

Good luck - it's a tough road to follow. I know from my own childhood how chaotic life can be when the work is unstable....we never went to live with my grandparents, but my senior year the family income was only $8k and mom refused to accept public assistance. In the middle of that, my dad threw down his briefcase and stormed out of a job. We made it and so will you.
Sounds like time to get to know some trustworthy folks to watch your kids, and prepare for the day your husband has had enough and quits his job. If you need more brainstorming suggestions on ways to bring in cash, let me know.
