[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I am going to schedule the babysitter for 3 mornings a week. My husband can deal with the expenses.[b] Our income is 160k[/b]. I picked a cheaper rental so we would have money for childcare. We don’t have student debt. I have a scholarship. I need to take care of my mental health.  [/quote]

His income is. Hope he says yes.[/quote]

OP. No, it's our income. What the hell is wrong with you? [/quote]

Well, I can count, and your income is zero, and he doesn't let you put kids in daycare even though it would help you. But I guess I was wrong about who controls his income. Good luck to you.[/quote]

There's a reason we have something called household income. [/quote]

That doesn't matter if you're not allowed to spend it.[/quote]

OP here. He gives me access to our money. He has a retirement ROTH set up for me.   He transfers $600 a month, and I can do whatever I want with it. I usually save it, but I will also use it to get a haircut, buy clothes. It could be worse. My husband said we could maybe do daycare, but then he wouldn't give me this. $600 isn't enough for daycare anyway, but it was when we lived in FL. We have only been here for four months. My son was in daycare in FL. So because it's so much more here, my husband decided to give me the money he was spending on daycare. [/quote]
