[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry about your situation, OP. Your wife seems to be a person who does not recognize how she in injuring her own relationship with you. All I can say is that I am embarrassed for your wife. Helping a little bit now allows your dad to be more financially secure and less of a burden on you down the road. [/quote] I agree. You are entitled to help your dad financially if you want to.[/quote] No - OP is not able to unilaterally decide to spend household money any more than his wife is - especially when you add in that he wants to shift the non-monetary cost of his plan to his wife (namely abdicating parenting responsibilities multiple days out of the week and for weeks on end with no planned end date). If he wants to use his ‘fun’ money on this, he can do that and put the burden of sacrifice on himself.[/quote]
