[quote=Anonymous]I'm a SAHM with an allowance, but DH and I have been doing that since before we had kids and I stopped working -- all income into the common pot, and then we each got an equal amount of personal spending money for our individual clothes, entertainment, hobbies, etc. Everything else comes out of the joint account. For us, though, cable would come out of the common fund. If you pay for cable out of your personal money, is he really never going to watch it? Will he pay you per show? I think you need to look at the bigger picture here, about coming to an agreement about what you guys will spend your money on, and setting a budget accordingly. Right now it sounds like he's taking a "I'm the one earning the money, so I get to decide how it's spent" approach, which is really problematic and reveals a deeper disrespect for you staying home.[/quote]
