Quickly

I am in the process of signing up for online classes at UofP. My buddy works there and is helping me out with it all. But damn what a process.
Getting a little frustrated with the BF. I work in an office where I am required to be there from 8:30am to 5:30 pm. My BF works as an electrician for his dads company and goes in at about 7 or 8 each morning and is always home before 2PM. I make a tiny bit more than he does, but even with a combined income we are still living check to check, And it seems that I am the only one that is saving anything for our future or for emergency purposes. I have been bugging him for the last 9 months to a year to ask for a raise or look for a better paying job because I need to go back to school and my sons new daycare is going to cost $600/month, and between school and my full time job I refuse to do what I have always done in the past and get a second or third job for myself. It is just too much to handle. Any how I have told him that we need to figure it out, I have told him to get a raise or a better job, and he still has not done either. I find it really unfair that both his brothers who also work for the family business are nice and cozy in their new custom homes and brand new vehicles and we are still struggling to get by. I hate that when I look up at the clock at 2, I know that I still have 3 more hours to go, and he is sitting at home in the cool AC that I pay half for doing what ever it is that he does when I am not around. I don't know what more to do really. When ever I do let it on that I am a bit upset with the fact that he gets off work early, he always says that its my fault I chose an occupation that requires sooo much of my time. But the truth of it is that I picked a job that pays for the things I NEED its a part of what I HAVE to do to get by, not what I WANT to do! Now I understand that his salary was enough when he was 20 and still in college, but now he has a family, I am not just some roomate he only has to pay half of rent to. And if his salary were half way decent and I wasn't constintly stressed about how we are going to get through another day, I totally wouldn't mind if he got off at 2pm, but the fact remains that we are STRUGGLING, and he doesn't seem to care, or notice? He just goes to work for a couple hours, gets home, diddles himself, and then picks up his little check on Fridays.
