He really doesn’t need your charity as much as you think, so if you’re only offering the above options, that might be the reason you’re not getting what you want from him.
I know the feminists and the man-haters will gasp at the audacity and mock these tips as old-fashioned, so it’s a good thing we should only care about pleasing Allah SWT and following the example of our Prophet’s PBUH on how to behave as a wife.

- Talk him up in front the kids. He is their hero after all. He’s not perfect for sure, but neither are you or anyone else.

- Appreciate his efforts and thank him for what he does. If you count every thing he does, you’ll see how many things add up which you take for granted.
