Ah, but two things come into play here. First, my little income of my own is tied up right now in a jeep payment and the car insurance that goes with it. Something I didn't
need because we own four other vehicles, but it was something I wanted. Therefore, DH has to bear the expense of all my animals and build the housing for them.
Secondly, I am disabled. More often that not, my DH ends up having to pitch in to care for animals he didn't ask for in the first place.
We've agreed that I will get a second coop and more chickens in the spring.
I have a tendency towards impulsiveness, which has caused its share of problems for me.
I'm learning the importance of planning ahead.
Can't argue with that- it took me several years to learn to build the coop BEFORE I got the chickens!
It's just that DH and I don't try to persuade or manipulate each other. We are equal partners for the most part, especially regarding major purchases. But even with chickens I tell him beforehand, and when he wants more coins he tells me. Then we see if the budget can handle it. I used to be really impulsive, but I sure have mellowed at 53!
