[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do spend $300 a week for DH, self and DC. $100 goes to groceries, $100 for eating out (thrice in the weekend, which we all enjoy as a family) and $100 for stuff for the house, including cleaning supplies and personal items.
While I do think your beauty regimen seems expensive and an allowance to curtail spending in that area will help, I dont understand why your DH is separating food. 
Who is going to handle the cooking and what happens when one of you runs out of ketchup, will you be accused of stealing from the other or have to run to the grocery store? With a preschooler in the mix, it will only get worse since your child's needs will change with time and he is going to be confused with all this meal separation. How will you do family dinners?

What does your therapist say about this?[/quote]

My H works late so not too many family dinners. We freely borrow each other's food (and offer to share); I cook for myself and child, if H wants to eat it, he is most welcome. He cooks for himself and we are welcome to help ourselves. 
I haven't discussed it with the therapist yet, there are other more urgent issues to discuss.
I honestly think this is not our biggest problem.[/quote]
