Crazy way of thinking

Oh that's tough. I know my husband is the same way, although he's gotten a bit better over the years. He still won't stop talking about getting a Wii. We got an X Box 360 for free and he always wants more games for it. The problem is we can barely afford our bills, and have basically been living off his family since we've been together. We are starting to finally be on our own, but the house we live in is owned by his parents, and we pay them rent. He is adimant about that. But when we got our taxes, we had a shut off notice from the power company and I had to fight him in order to pay the bill. I think just talking at a calm, peaceful time about your views and see about coming to a happy medium. Tell him if you pay X amount of bills, then you can spend X amount on whatever... Hope that helps. Good Luck.

I would tell him the way it is! Kids and bills come before toys. The kids needs should come before anything. Just because you live with his sister doesn't mean you don't have to pay bills. Tell him to grow up and be a dad. His needs are last. A psp is not a necessity! When you are down and out and not standing on your own two feet you do not go buy a psp. Why not reward him with some thing less expensive. For all his hard work. I do not think he should get praise for going to work because it is his job to provide for the family. You also could have him go to the pawn shop and get a used one for a low cost?

I am sorry to say this but if he is so immature that he puts a game before the needs of his children then you probably are not going to get through to him. His sister may be able to make him cough up some money to help with the bills but...........
