I agree.  It doesn't sound like SAHM is for you.[/quote]

[b]DH wants me to stay home. He thinks it is best for our children. He loves our children more than anything[/b].

I want to ask for a certain amount to be placed in a separate account per month that I can spend as I choose. I was thinking $5k. For the record, I spent at least $10k per month.[/quote]

Do you want to stay home? What do you think is best for your children? Does he love you?[/quote]

It is probably best that I stay home for my children. That is why we decided together that I would quit my job. DH used to earn high six figures before I quit. The plan was that he could ramp up and work as hard as he could. It has paid off. I don't even know if he could ramp down at this point.

At the same time, I think our overall family life was better when we were both working. He and I would take turns picking up the kids. He was home more. So while our HHI is higher, our lifestyle was better. That extra 500k he earns makes no real different in our lifestyle. At the same time, if he was willing to give an extra 25k or so to my family, it would make me worlds happier.[/quote]

Are you just nuts?  You spend $10,000+ a month on yourself and household, your husband pays for your brother and you are complain you need more money?  For what?  At $10,000 a month, you probably have fancy crap and enough for 3-4- people.  If you start giving 25K to your family, especially brother, he could lose all his benefits as benefits are based off of income.  Do you even get how benefits work?  Buying him clothing, food and paying directly for some stuff is ok, go overboard and he could lose his benefits.  He's far more than generous.  You don't need paid, he's already paying you with open access to money and credit cards/[/quote]

OP - you and your brother seriously sound like entitled brats??

Are you for real??!

Why can't your brother work?

Why isn't it enough for your husband to buy a house AND pay all your brother's bills?

And now you want to give him an additional $25K/year in spending money?

What. the. fuck.

Keep on this path, and your ass will be divorced in a few years. I'm a woman and I'm disgusted by your behavior.[/quote]
I know...here the thing I don't understand if the DH pays all the brother's bills what's left to pay?  Also a $100 gift card is really chicken feed on 10k of spending money a month. How does your DH even know you give a $100 gift card? You must tell him you bought the card or are just a troll.[/quote]
