My husband and I have a 15 month old daughter and another girl scheduled to be delivered in just 12 days. We live in a tiny house, my mother’s house. For two years now we have lived without heat because she refuses to pay for oil, my husband and I pay $300 in rent but also buy food and pay for cable/phone. She does not pay a monthly mortgage. The downstairs is usually very cold and in disrepair – I don’t think of it as safe enough to let her play. Then my husband decided to take on a third shift job, knowing our daughter wakes up at 9 in the morning and that the only safe place for her to play is in our room and hers. We do not own a car and I have no friends that have the time to transport us everywhere so that my husband can sleep. We fight everyday about his sleep and I’ve gotten to the point that I would prefer him to move out but he thinks of it as me not wanting to be with him at all. I simply can’t take the fighting. He works 60 hours/week + has no time to find another job.
