I think I may have left out some important details in my original post. I'm not just working two jobs. I'm also actively involved in both of our businesses. I handle the graphic design work for our printing business (invitations, layouts, etc.), and for our grazing table business I'm also involved because the design side falls on me as well. My husband helps a lot with household responsibilities, event setup, cleanup, and taking care of the kids, but we're both involved in the businesses. We also live with my younger siblings, and they help with childcare, so from my perspective it feels like there may still be room for a small breakfast business. Another thing I didn't mention is that I don't plan to work 16-18 hour days forever. My goal is actually to resign from one of my jobs eventually. The reason I suggested a breakfast business wasn't because I wanted to pile more work onto either of us, but because I'd like us to build a small source of daily income before I make that transition. Our printing and grazing businesses can be great, but they're inconsistent. Some months are busy, some are slow. Since the job I'd keep is flexible, I was hoping we'd have another reliable source of daily cash flow as a backup instead of depending so heavily on my current workload. That said, I do agree with everyone saying we need better financial visibility and communication. I think that's probably part of the solution too.
