[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, OP. It sounds like you and your husband need to sit down and have a very serious conversation about your finances and figure out if there are places where you could save money you're currently spending. If I was in your position, I would use this as an opportunity to educate him about your family finances. His comments to you make it sound like he does not understand your workload and maybe feels that you have an unequal contribution to family life.

Do you have a monthly budget? How closely do you track your expenses?[/quote]

We've cut out cable and other extras. We don't buy very much that isn't necessary. Clothes from a nice consignment shop nearby, books from the library, Netflix, etc.

I agree he should be more involved in the finances-- he takes no interest, though I've tried to make a list for him.

I think you might be right that he doesn't understand my workload. When I express how much work I have to do, he seems to think it's my fault that I have so much-- like I should be able to handle more. But it's possible he really doesn't understand.[/quote]
