H handles all finances. We have a budget of the amount I can use each month on shopping/ hair appointments etc. 
Work around house- weekly cleaner
Kids homework- husband
Cooking- all me

Works great for us.

So you have an allowance like a child?[/quote]

An adult sets an allowance amount for a child. PP clearly said "WE have a budget" for her expenses, meaning she has some control in setting the amount.

If you want to diss the SAH choice how about you start your own thread?[/quote]

He controls all finances.
She has a set amount.
Methinks she doesn't have much say.

I have no idea how people live this way and consider themselves equals.  Not a SAHM "diss" (as you so maturely put it) at all - I'm well aware that not all SAHMs live this way.[/quote]

Eh - we do something similar. DH manages the main checking and savings account and pays off our monthly credit card bill and makes the mortgage payment  from that. I handle all the day to day bills - cell phone, cable, pepco, etc. from a monthly amount  we transfer. He doesn't want handle the little nagging bills. I absolutely have access to the main account but I almost never need to access it. I think it depends on what works for people. You can call it an allowance if it makes you feel better, but since I only work part-time it's necessary to pay the bills.[/quote]
