I have a home where my parents live but...?

Just had a baby and cannot go back to work for a while. My husband cannot make the payments since he many debts including 2 cars and a race car that he pays 1700 a month (his dream car). He wants to sell the second home and not the car?

before it was never an issue since i paid for the house and my bills but it is,, , PS...I lost my job with at&t while pregnant... did not plan on it. He had his own house and cars before I met him.

Additional Details

I had the home and a job before meeting him. My brother who is 36 lives in the home w parents but does not work. That is a big factor why husband wants to sell the home. I know my parents r enabling my brother but i dont know what to do. If i sell the home my parents will be practically on the street.

    You need to stand up for yourself. You have a baby to protect now. Too bad if your husband has to sell the race car.

    You say he has many debts. He should sell the car. That's what marriage and fatherhood is all about. sacrifice!

    Tell your brother he has to begin paying RENT if he wants to keep living there. Send a letter IN WRITING so you have proof.

    Give him 2 months to find a job. If he doesn't pay on the 1st of the 3rd month, KICK HIM OUT. Use the money to help your parents

    Not to make this sound mean or anything but i would really leave the guy. He sounds like he is more worried about his race car then he is anything else. I mean you had a home and a job before meeting him. Now you also have to worry about your parents and the new baby. I would help them out while also trying to get back on your own two feet. Need more advice don't be afraid to ask

    Sell the second home to your parents or to a brother or sister or other family member.

    When you are low on money, it is not responsible for your husband to keep this extravagant fantasy car. Tell him I said that.

    Keep only one car. A home is more important; especially now with a family.
