[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM. I don’t buy $12 smoothies but I can’t imagine a situation where would not allow me to get a drink or buy shoes (assuming child, not myself). I don’t think you should think of it as your money. Sounds like a recipe for resentment.[/quote] Finally, a sane person. Thank you, SAHM. And thank you for the valuable, typically-unseen and -underappreciated work that you do. Seems like someone is passing on good values to the next generation.[/quote] There is a huge difference between being a SAHM who spends the family income and OP's husband who isn't doing the bulk of the childcare and housework. Would you feel entitled to $12 smoothies if you didn't lift a finger around the house? Women's work is undervalued, some middle aged guy who got laid off and spends his time at the gym isn't.
