[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my opinion: Extremely bold of the DH to ask for financial contribution breakdowns when he is actively resisting getting full time work and only contributing 30% of prior income  :shock: [/quote]
So every SAHM should be ok with her DH telling her that she better put in thousands into their account while watching kids and fully knowing she doesn't have a job?
Let's just reverse these roles. SAHM, not working, one of those that is a poor housekeeper and feels overwhelmed by child care, she should somehow make Ks appear out of thin are and we would all applaud her DH who demanded that she pulls her weight financially?
We have many such threads, and while often the advice is to get her act together re child care and housekeeping, I have never heard the advice that such SAHM ought to make Ks appear and put them in the bank account.
How and why is this SAHD, as bad as he is as it, a loser for not putting money in the bank? Even though he is somehow, who knows how, but not only is he criticized for penny-pinching, he is a loser for not putting enough in the account.
Our advice to burned-out SAHM is to take some time for herself and to make sure DH is helping in the evening and does her share. But, our advice to SAHD is that every minute should be with the kids?[/quote]

You are missing that they did not agree for him to be a SAHD.  There is a difference. [/quote]
So? He is one now, he is an unemployed spouse. He lost his job, many people lose their jobs, should the other spouse leave them right away?[/quote]
