When I was a kid, when people asked me what I wanted to be, I said that I wanted to be an astronaut. Of course, I was not destined to get to NASA, but you must admit that finding a decent job and earning good money to provide for your family is no less important than flying into space.

The story we are going to tell you today, from the useru/Wise-Raisin-791, clearly shows us that family and kids are not always the big motivation for people in search of – not even a job – their career path. However, let’s take everything in order here.

The main problem in their family, according to the author, is that her spouse is actually a job-hopper

The guy dropped out of college, then attempted plenty of jobs – and they kept living in the RV meanwhile

The main source of income for their family, as the author says, is $800 per month that the FIL keeps giving to his son

So the woman ended up issuing an ultimatum to her spouse – he has to find a stable job within 180 days – otherwise she files for divorce

So, the Original Poster (OP) says that she is now 21 years old and she ismarriedto a 26-year-old guy who still has not found a stable job, let alone a field in which he wants to work and develop his skills. And even the birth of achildhas not changed anything in this situation.

Initially, when their relationship started, the guy was a college student, but dropped out – and since then has changed professional directions several times. From a baseball coach to a wedding inspector, from a writer (selling his own books on Amazon) to a student again. And each time he quit his chosen business without making any big progress.

“Perhaps this is just a period of hyperfixation – but only an expert can actually determine this after direct communication. Be that as it may, he has had enough time to find a decent job – and blaming his wife for not supporting him enough is simply disrespectful. So this woman most likely did the right thing,” Irina sums up.
