[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About to leave the work force to raise DS full time.  Just had an interesting convo w husband.  He wants to cancel cable. I want to find a lower cost cable package. He says "well I'm not paying for it".  I'm currently working and could pay for it but the discussion freaked me out. I told him I need a monthly allowance once I quit so I have some discretionary income of my own. What are some things you stay at home spouses do that work for you?[/quote]

Hi op I will say do not do it,but read my story.  I stayed home not by choice but by circumstance. I have a child who has delays and asd. I spend my days chasing insurance calling doctors  finding therapists doing laundry taking care of the kids but do I get a thanks?

no all I hear when he returns from a long day at work (10 hours plus) is how I have not worked in xyz years. Mind you I am highly educated and still get recruiter calls daily for jobs; in all of this I am up at night doing my little entrepreneurial bit (I do not get allowance) when i married I had 30k saved up (its all gone now). I do not have access to accounts because in his words I have not WORKED. So I say this to you, unless there is an agreement about allowance, you will need your own way to earn a living. Right now my husband considers the income he makes as HIS MONEY.[/quote]

Pardon my language, but your husband is a major dick and an ungrateful asshole.

I'm sorry you're saddled with such a poor excuse as a husband. You're a brave Mum for doing what's best for your kid despite your husband galactic level of jerkness.[/quote]
