Unemployed Husband Tells Wife to Stop Buying Formula instead of Cancelling Netflix.

You did indeed read the headline. A woman turned to Reddit because she’s contemplating canceling her husband’s streaming services. Her decision was mainly based on the fact that the streaming services take a large chunk from their monthly budget. Her husband, an unemployed man, is strongly opposed to this idea. He has suggested other (completely absurd ways) of cutting their monthly budget.

The story goes that the wife worked and the husband was unemployed, but now lives at home with the children. The couple have a three-year-old and a nine month-old. The husband quit his previous job. “due to issues with his employer.”The following is an extract from the Post, he looked for another job but wasn’t able to find one in his field. He’s also refusing to work in a Related field, saying his dignity won’t let him because he worked hard for his degree.

He still contributes to the family by being at home with the children. His wife suggested that he cancel all streaming services, which cost upwards of $80 per month, and just keep the kids’ television. OneExtreme reaction from him to streaming services. He claimed that streaming services were a “right and not a privilegeHe stays home with his children and is therefore a stay-at–home parent. “taxing, just like [the wife’s] job.”

Yes, staying at home parenting is hard

We aren’t here to discuss how difficult it can be to be a stay-at home parent. Some people have done both. KnowDiscuss the challenges of being both a working parent or a stay at-home parent. Commenters agreed that it is hard to be a stay at home parent. One Commenter stated, “When one partner stays home for purposes of childcare they are providing a service with an inherent value. Whether or not he does that service well does not mean the service itself has no value. We need to do away with this line of thinking that stay-at-home parents do not provide financial benefit to their households. They do.”

The woman tried to have a conversation with her husband about ways to reduce expenses. He had many absurd ideas but only one. Instead of cutting off streaming services, he suggested she Stop buying baby formulaAnd “go back to breastfeeding”Their nine-month old son. He claimed that baby formula was “unnecessary and expensive.”

However relactation can happen, it’s completely shocking that he would suggest it. It is up to you whether or not you want to breastfeed. The woman said that she had stopped breastfeeding “due to health issues.” And, even when she stopped originally he didn’t support her decision. He even said to her to “push past the pain to provide real benefits to their son.” There are so many things wrong with his mindset, but I’ll let the Reddit commenters handle the reactions.

“He is prioritizing his entertainment over the routine feeding of his child. If you haven’t breastfed in a while, you can’t exactly just jump back into it and produce enough to feed your baby,” One commenter said.

“I’m saying this as a man whose wife is the breadwinner (though I do work)” Claim another user. “If she asked me to cancel any of my subscriptions, I would without hesitation if I knew she was struggling.”

“Your husband needs a lesson in ‘wants vs needs.’ We NEED shelter, food, utilities, etc. Streaming services? That’s a WANT. Your husband sounds selfish. If he wants the streaming crap so bad, he can drive for Uber/Lyft when you get home and pay for it himself,” a user suggested.

Who’s In The Wrong?

Ok, not a real question. It’s obvious who is in the wrong here. It is possible that this was a misunderstanding by the husband, and not indicative of their entire relationship. Our storyteller might consider cancelling streaming services in addition to the ones already mentioned.
