[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom used to have to ask my father for money to buy his birthday present.

I would never be reduced to needing someone (like a daddy) to support me. That does not feel like being an independent adult to me. That is just baked into my (female) DNA.[/quote]

You can be a SAHM (or SAHD) in a healthy relationship where that is not the case.  My husband's money is OUR money and always has been.  Just like if I made less than him (or I made more than him) our money was always pooled together jointly, we never kept separate "his and hers" bank accounts.  It works for us. 
Been SAHM for 20+ years, manage our finances and never felt as if I was slighted for "not having an income"[/quote]

+1 I'm a SAHM and my husband asks me before he spends money. We both agree that I'm just better with shopping and budgeting. We both have access to all accounts, and neither of us asks each other for permission to buy small stuff.[/quote]

That’s just stupid. I am a woman and would never ask a spouse whether I can spend my money. What a dysfunctional relationship.[/quote]
