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.

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

How do you go from "handles" to "controls"?

Really, there is a very long recent thread on this just for you and those with similar confusion.[/quote]

Why are you arguing this?  Are you pp?  She explained it right above you.  You're ridiculously defensive.  - NP[/quote]

I'm obviously not pp. I'm arguing because pointless trolling annoys me.[/quote]

Disagreeing doesn't equal trolling.[/quote]

It does in this case. What you disagree with (I bolded it above) is not related to the issue being discussed (see thread title).  You just wanted to get on your high horse about how other people live, you didn't want to contribute to the thread's topic. I'm sure to you it just feels like disagreement, but tell me, which part of this definition doesn't apply to your "allowance" post?

In Internet slang, a troll (/?tro?l/, /?tr?l/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[/quote]

I agree. The "allowance" poster was merely trying to raise a ruckus about something that wasn't even an issue, and basically managed to derail the whole thread with an unnecessary and unhelpful snarky comment that they KNEW was stupid to begin with. Budgets among adults aren't the same as an allowance and they're arguing that point simply to create upheaval where none existed.[/quote]
