[quote=Anonymous]OP, you have to take some responsibility for decisions you made in full knowledge of his professional situation— kids and house. Getting mad after the fact when the facts on the ground were the same is irrational. It is not too late to create joint bank accounts and you are completely right that he needs to know how much things cost, he could be an unpaid intern and I would still think it was shocking that he doesn’t contribute to the cost of the house he lives in. But you need to talk to your husband, the way you should have before the house and DEFINITELY before kids about what your goals for your family are and what it takes to get there. DH and I decided we would both dial back our careers when we had a baby, and both took federal jobs in the years before. You can’t just have a baby and *then* think “oh but I want to be home to read to them every night”. You have got to get into the same page and be pulling in the same direction. [/quote]
