Fun Surprise Gift for a Hubby Is Stressed Out and Starting to Lose It!

You're sweet. At 8 months pregnant I was all about me and baby. Instead of freaking about your husband being laid off, you are trying to lift him up. You are an amazing woman. I know with him losing his job, now isn't the time to be frivolous with money, but what does he like to do? Now would be a good time for him to pursue a hobby he never has time for. Like a golf gift certificate. Does he like video games? You could go to game stop and buy a used version of a new game for him. A lot of men find shooting bad guys very good for stress!

My experience with men and job insecurity is don't spend extra money! The guys I know have jobs that are by nature on and off, like electricians or carpenters, they save when they are on so they don't have to worry when they are off work. Still these guys plan, like where every penny will go, how long before it runs out..... They have said nothing drives them more crazy than when their wives start spending on stupid things they don't need.

We look at it as we are secure they have planned, they look at it as we are screwing up their plans. Although your thoughts are so sweet it may have the opposite effect. Might! Still if you want to be on the safe side come up with some plan to save money on something you can really live without. Tell him honey I figured I don't really need this and that way if something goes wrong with the delivery we have some extra wiggle room on the budget. That will reduce his stress because most likely that is what is most on his mind, not golf.

Is he into sports of any type? Maybe you could get him tickets to his favoriet baseball team or a round of golf with one of his buddies or something like that.

Get out of the house! Take him on a date, just the 2 of you. Go to a new restaurant that you've never been to before. Go see a movie. Just take a few hours and get away from it all. I know it's always nice to go out with my husband.

You are a very good wife! As pregnant as you are I wouldn't recommend sending him away for the weekend. But maybe if he likes golf or bowling etc., you can get a couple of his friends together for an afternoon out!

Blessings....

Send him out for a massage he might like that.

Go have a nice dinner and a movie out just the two of you, to relax and reconnect and have someone watch the little one. Get your quality time in together before the new baby gets here.

Just remember at the end of the most stressful days there is always something to be thankful for, so take a minute before bed to talk about it and unwind.
