So frustrated with my life, need to vent?

My husband and I have a 7 month old son. I'm a stay-at-home breastfeeding mom until I can get my son in daycare and go back to work (ultrasound sonographer). My husband, on the other hand, has no stable career. He's been jumping from job to job, and quits EVERY job he's ever had as soon as it gets hard (which is usually a few months into the job).

Finally he found a job he likes -- driving an ambulette for the elderly and disabled. 2 months into the job, they put him on a different schedule. Monday thru Thursday 10 am to 10 pm! Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. Today was his first day on this schedule and he calls me screaming how he can't take it, he's gonna quit. This life is BS and yada yada yada! We can't afford him quitting and I'm so nervous. Either he's gonna come home in a horrible mood all pissed, or he's gonna quit. Either way, it's not good and makes me nervous about our shaky future.

I have worked as a sonographer for YEARS in the WORST of conditions, sometimes ending at 1 am and then starting at 7 am with my boss yelling down my neck all day. I still pushed myself to continue working and not quit. I just don't understand him!!! He doesn't understand that THIS IS LIFE! It's hard! He obviously never grew up and matured!

Everyday I walk around and feel as though I'm living in a house of cards -- the littlest wind and it will all collapse around me! What can I do? I needed to vent. Please don't be harsh... I'm going through a lot as it is. Is anyone else in the same situation and how to you handle it?
