[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need rules about money.

My H has given his parents $30k over the years.

So we made a rules... he has a certain amount of money put in a separate account monthly for him to spend and he does not need to consult me.

[b]He also is not allowed to purchase anything after October 1st without telling me, he has literally bought our kids every single Christmas gift on my list in October and I had nothing on the list left.[/b]

He is also not allowed to make a purchase of &gt;$300 for the house without asking me. He goes to home depot and best buy and regularly makes &gt;$300 purchases &quot;for the family&quot;.

Some people are spenders, some are savers... neither is better.

I don't understand the bolded -- aren't Christmas presents to the kids from both of you?[/quote]

Yes and No. He is so ADHD he can't plan. I make a list and then we go shopping the week after Thanksgiving. I don't keep him abreast of what is on the list, because it would be all for naught. Some of the stuff on the list are ideas he texted me, then he forgot he told me to put it on the Christmas list, then he comes home with a $200 bike in the middle of October.

Did I mention gift giving is his love language.

Did I also mention that I never have a gift under the tree on Christmas because he give them to me the weeks leading up to Christmas because he can't wait. [/quote]
