[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know... A DH that doesn’t want you to send some spending money to a teen sounds really controlling - or he wants to draw a line in the sand about his real family and keep the son out.

Either way, I think OP needs to get a job to have more input in the family finances. (This has nothing to do with the value of being a SAHM - it’s about the value that her DH places on it which is not much.)

It’s an unhealthy situation.

For a thought exercise: Would it be an issue if you wanted to spend $100 on an activity for the girls or clothes or to go see the Nutcracker? If the answer is no, it wouldn’t even register for you to ask permission for that, then this is all the more problematic. What if your son needs money for something else during his college career? Suppose there’s an internship that could build his resume but doesn’t pay well - should he deliver pizzas instead?

Was your son treated poorly the entire time he lived with stepdad or is this something new? [/quote]
