I'm with you, on the confusion. The OP is: "luvmykidS", almost understood in the plural sense, kids. Yet she speaks of having only one with her husband.
Does she have more than one child? It was my grandmother that shared this adage with me: "When the wolf knocks at the door, love jumps out the window".
When I got married 46 years ago, one line of the wedding vows went like this: "for better or worse, in sickness or in health, for richer or poorer, til death do
us part." Thank God that the unemployment index was much lower then, than it is today. Although she admits that her dh is a good father, she doesn't seem
to quite understand that as parents, we're obligated to be good to our children, providing them with love as the foremost part of that obligation. Marriage is
more than money, or who has a better paying job, it's about love, unless you happen to be born a Kardashian or a Hilton, grown marital partners need, at all
costs, to sacrifice as neccessary, for their children.

Maybe by KIDS, she is counting her husband as one?

Want all the protections and rights of being an empowered woman, yet still expecting the man to bring home all the bacon...

Awesome entitlement. If you married for the right reasons it wouldn't matter.

She obviously has more than one child, but only one with her current husband.

She didn't say he had to "bring home ALL the bacon".

She just said SHE doesn't want to have to support HIM and her kids all by herself - and that's reasonable, not "entitled".

OP, obviously it wouldn't be sensible to have more children with your husband if (a) you're not happy with him or the marriage and (b) he can't support children period. You should never have more children than you can afford.

Has your husband actually refused to take full time jobs he's been offered or can he only find part time employment at this time?

If you haven't already gone for counseling (whether with him or without him) then I suggest you do so. If you've reached the end of your tether then seek a divorce and raise your children by yourself (with of course his regular contribution for the child he fathered).

Her husband intentionally tries to get himself fired and won't hold a full-time job. You're calling HER entitled?
