I need my bf to stay home
Is there a reason he needs to stay at home?
Yes, him staying home will be good for the kids
It is sometimes necessary to need someone around to help out. You should ask your boyfriend how he feels about this.
He keeps on saying he doesn't have time, but I'm going to get him to stay home.
You shouldn't force him to do something he doesn't want to do. But I'm sure he will understand that it'd be good for the kids.
