frustrated with DH!! UGH!!

[autiemommy2]

Some times, my DH can be a real jerk. He's been so asinine about *everything* lately that it's driving me crazy! I swear he's the hormonal one!!

We are trying to come up with $1300 so our son can have dental surgery - which is a requirement for him to eat. Well, insurance is only paying less than half, so we have to come up with the rest ($1300) in 25 days.

We've sold our stuff, but it's not enough - not even close. We cannot afford to take out a loan and we don't have any extra money in savings b/c we had to pay other medical expenses. We are trying to avoid asking our parents (see previous post). There are just no other options. I don't know what we are going to do.

Anyway, my mom calls today and tells me that her Aunt has donated $400 for our son's expenses. I was floored!! No one else has offered to donate money, but my DH is pissed.

Why, you ask? B/c he doesn't like my mom or my mom's Aunt. I admit, I don't like my mom's Aunt either and there are far too many reasons to list, but I'm not one to turn down a much needed dontation! I'm at the point where I don't care where the money comes from b/c our son NEEDS this surgery as soon as possible. It will allow him to eat table foods... and considering he only eats jarred baby food and cannot feed himself, I really don't care who gives us money. He needs this surgery!

DH tells me that he will not accept the money. I actually got angry with him and told him to just swallow his pride and deal with it b/c I'm taking the money! This isn't about his stupid hatred for my family - this about our son needing surgery! He got mad at me but I don't even care! I would swim the ocean if that is what it takes for our son to be able to eat! I'm so pissed at him for acting like a child about this!! And I do NOT care if it is a pride issue for him! If that is the case, then he can get up off his butt and this computer and do what it takes to raise the money himself! We aren't asking people for donations, but I am NOT going to turn them down either!!

What is wrong with someone donating money for our son's surgery? NOTHING! I'm taking the money and he will just get over it. If he wants to pay her back when we get our tax return, then fine, but for now, we don't have the time to sit around and hope the money falls in our laps! I'm trying to get a fundraiser together, but I've never done one and they are difficult to pull of in such a short time - especially so close to the holidays coming up.

Ugh! I'm just frustrated that he's so unwilling to accept this money - even if he doesn't like the source! What the hell does it matter whom or where it came from? The point is our child needs surgery, we need the money, and someone cares enough to help us out - and $400 is a lot of money for most people. (It's pocket change for my mom's Aunt, but that is beside the point. She didn't have to give anything at all!) I'm grateful and he can suck my toe!

Okay, done venting. I feel a little better...
