I am working on opening a business, and at this exact moment
I don’t have the money to pay for the final touches. Not a problem I will just have to wait a lil bit longer. However I can still use free advertising venues such as twitter an facebook ETC . to promote the (Grand Opening soon ! ) of my business.
My spouse is so thick headed, he doesn’t take my endeavor serious. ! he thinks I am just screwing around on the computer ( ok, maybe at this exact moment Yes) but it is ticking me off. He just wants me to be a dead head house wife! And basically said so in not so many words.
A little about what I accomplished so far : I have managed to land an account with a major manufacture of products. got a website built, managed to set up all the shipping and handling procedures. there is 50 thousand products …YIKES I still have to pay some last minute graphic stuff and that is what is holding me back.
This distribution coincides with my other business ( they go hand in hand) they are both pet related!
I have been in this industry for 10 years I know it like the back of my hand. And I am setting myself up to play ball with the big boys petco & petsmart but my spouse just doesn’t get it . I am excited , but he isn’t.
An my spouse thinks I am just farting around. Being cute! , telling me things like "can’t you NOT use the computer for 2 days" , "why do you have to promote something that isn’t even up yet", "can’t you just print flyer’s from the computer" Maybe I should go sell Avon ! grrr
I Just feel aggravated… any words of encouragement would help!

I think you need to set some work hours and remind him to stay out when you are working. It’s horible that he can’t respect the work you are doing. Each time he does it I think you should just continue to remind him that you are working, not just messing around.
What is it he would prefer you to be doing, is it that he feels he is not getting enough of your attention? Maybe you could assure him that at a certain you’ll be all his to do whatever activity he wants. But by the sounds of it this is more that he just wants to be a controlling pain in the butt.
Wow! You are doing great! Keep it up and follow your heart on this, look at all you’ve accomplished so far!
Don’t forget to give us the website too, so we can check out all the fantastic stuff you’ve got for our little furry, feathery, scaley or leathery family members.
You obviously have your own drive, and you have gotten a lot done so far. If he is too ignorant to see what you are doing and appreciate it and give you a little encouragement, then just don’t look for any kind words from him. Just keep on going and satisfy yourself. When he sees how hard you worked and the success that you got, then he will wake up and say something. I hope he is not jealous of you and your success. That would be destructive.
