He's driving me nuts! I thought having him here when Gabe was born would be good, he'd be able to help out. He does cook and do dishes but otherwise he's driving me crazy. Mike and I wanted to get grocery shopping done and he rolled his eyes at me when I asked him to keep Gabe so we didn't have to take him to the store. HELLO!! The kid is going to sleep the whole time I'm gone, and what else are you doing?!!
He STILL doesn't have a job. He's waiting for one place to call him back, but what if they don't?! So he hasn't kept looking in the mean time. Mike and I had money in the bank to get us through til I could go back to work and it's all GONE! Having to feed one extra person mattered. We're coming up short now. There's bills we've had to not pay again. I thought we were done with that. If we hadn't gotten $100 in grocery gift cards for Xmas we would have not eaten this week. There's NO extra money, we can NOT go anywhere but to and from work (for Mike). Even then we'll be cutting it close.
I'm afraid that we're not going to have money for diapers/formula. It might sound silly that feeding one extra person mattered to us but it really does. My dad is a 3 meal a day person, Mike and I aren't. So it starts to add up. He also cooks for an army, and it's things that don't keep well. I specifically got 2 things for myself and even when I told both my dad and Mike not to eat them, my dad did. I was bummed.
I'm just praying he gets a job, I know he's depressed about not working. Not looking doesn't help that though. He wants to make way too much money for most jobs. He's not willing to work at the gas station for $8. He expects to make more then Mike, and we lived on that, why isn't it good enough for him?! I'm just frustrated. He's got no where else to go, I know I'm it. We just really need him to work to bring in ANY money for us. A lousy $150 a month would make a huge difference in our lives. How sad is that? UGH I just don't know what to do. Paying bills and trying to budget grocery and gas money stresses both Mike and me out. I end up crying and feeling bad that I'm not bringing in any money myself.
I hope all of this made sense, I'm tired and annoyed and rambling.

Just 
that he gets a job soon, or at least can start collecting unemployment again.
