[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My best friend is a SAHM and she is paid a salary by her DH. It's a safety net that she banks. I don't think she gets a percentage of his yearly bonus.[/quote]

This can't be freaking real. [/quote]

Yep, it's real. It started when decided to SAH. She gets an amount equivalent to what she was earning in her university researcher position. It's her money in case they divorce. Her father had affairs so she's got childhood issues about marriage and money.[/quote]

How is it possible to maintain a marriage of equals when one literally pays the other a salary like an employee?  Or does that not bother her?[/quote]

Did she want to SAH?[/quote]

My husband gives me an allowance each month. I use it for beauty appointments and clothes. It works great for us. This way he doesn't freak out how much I spend on these things.

Like you're his child?  Healthy!   :roll: [/quote]

Being on a budget is practical and as a stay at home mom myself, being practical is what keeps me at home. I think people get all upset by the word "allowance" because it sounds like she is "allowed" to have this sum of money. I am sure that is the way it is in some households. But, budgeting is really what it is. He gives me $500/ month to spend for fun stuff.
