[quote=Anonymous]Um, it's not DH's money. It's both of yours. If DH and you together decided you would stop working to be a SAHM, it's just as much your money as is. Yes, he actually has the job but you two made a family decision that he would  bring in outside income and you would take care of kids. He doesn't need to "pay" you - you two need to jointly decide how to spend your collective income. Now, that's not to say you won't argue about how to spend that income. It sounds like DH does not want to spend so much of it on your family. So maybe a good solution would be for each of you to have a set amount of money each month that neither partner gets any say in how it gets spent. Then you wouldn't have to debate this. But you have to first both start thinking of it as your money, your budget, your family, collectively  and go from there. Perhaps marriage therapy would be helpful if this is causing a lot of marital stress. The biggest thing couples fight over is money, you certainly wouldn't be alone in that![/quote]
