[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who doesn’t have access to all their husband’s bank accounts?

Working mom, SAHM, doesn’t matter.

Everything is online nowadays, you just need to know how to get into the account. He should not keep this a secret from you.

THAT is a bad sign, regardless of whether you work or not. [/quote]

The above talk about the 401k is very strange.

You can make changes to the account online.[/quote]

I agree. I SAH, going on 3 years, and my DH actually asks me before making purchases with “his money.”

DH and I have a shared life and we don’t see the income as “his money.” That would be a really strange and outdated view imo. [/quote]

That is nice. But that is not true for many women especially women who are in abusive relationships.

A wife can not legally get access to a H account while married. Once you divorce you can get 1/2. [/quote]

Ok... now we are talking about abusive relationships? What? [/quote]

Yeah, I'm the PP who said that most people would presumably discourage a woman from staying home if her husband was an abusive alcoholic.  There are some circumstances in which stay at home is a bad idea, no doubt.  If your DH is abusive, don't quit your job and stay at home.  If your DH is unemployed and you don't have any other source of income, don't quit your job and stay at home.  If you don't trust your DH, don't quit your job and stay at home (frankly, don't have children with him in the first place).

Again, just because there are some circumstances in which a woman shouldn't stay home doesn't mean there's anything intrinsically wrong with staying home.
