[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the breadwinner too. I don't resent DH for not earning enough but I do resent how he spends what he earns. He just blows through it unless I nag him about saving.

this, definitely!  He spends way more on himself than I do on myself - personal trainer, private tennis lessons, monthly haircuts and pretty much anything that strikes his fancy (expensive deoderants, books, clothes) - he probably makes enough to support himself only - my income is what pays for our overhead and savings.  It drives me crazy, because I'm pretty good with money, and I don't deny myself, but I definitely think twice on what things cost and don't treat myself on a regular basis.  Grrr.[/quote]

Same here!  I'm the breadwinner, and it is STRESSFUL!  If I did not work, we couldn't even pay our whole mortgage and that is frightening to me.  However, my husband is amazing with our baby, does all of the cooking, grocery shopping, daycare pick up and drop off, etc.  So I think we have a pretty good system down, but I wish that he wasn't constantly spending money on stupid things (i.e. his home beer making hobby!), suggesting new electronic equipment for us to buy, etc.  [/quote]
