[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have been married for 20 years and we have always had separate bank accounts and credit cards so I get that. Maybe weird to some people but works for us. It sounds like you are enabling your DH and your son. If DH doesn’t work where is he getting the money from to pay for his wasteful choices? If it is coming from you why don’t you tell him how you feel and get yourselves on a budget? And no way in hell would I be paying for any of this for a teenage son. He can get a job. This isn’t just on them, you are allowing it. [/quote] I am paying for almost everything. Dh makes a little money and uses that for these items. I’ve objected and said ‘you should contribute to housing, insurance etc if you can afford these extras’ and he argues and claims he ‘spends very little’ and the money he is giving to dc is for ‘things he needs’. As I mentioned, my other dc is not like this at all. [/quote]
