STAY AT HOME MOMS and THE BUDGET….?
so i am beyond frustrated…we live in california and the housing market is ridiculous,so we are saving for a house. I used to work but recently quit because grandma wasn’t doing such a hot job at watching my one year old and i don’t want to do day care. I have always worked, and it gave me a sense of accomplishment, as well as being able to maybe splurge on myself every once and awhile. Now my husband has come up with a budget that is about 1/20th of our normal spending. It’s not even really that bothers me, but it’s the fact that i have an"allowance" it makes me feel like a kid again. like it’s HIS money, and he allows me to use it. Plus i feel a little useless not being able to contribute. It’s really bothering me! I don’t want to continue being angry about it, but i am! i also grew up poor, so i started working at 16, and it was the first time in my life that i was able to get things that i wanted and feel like i earned it, and i think that has a lot to do with it. Any suggestions?
Earn money and be your own boss by watching other people’s children in your home.

i learned how to do medical transcription at home in about a month.. i got REALLY good after two months of doing it.. and now here i am, have been doing it for about 10 months, and i am making $25 an hour.. why don’t you try something like that?? or just seriously talk w/ your husband & tell him that you can live on a budget, but don’t like being treated like a kid about it!! and good luck to you guys buying a house in california (i live in orange county myself)!! yikes!!

I worked for a long time before our kids came along and then I was a stay at home Mom. That was my most important job ever!!!
I already knew that I could survive without a lot of things.
We had a joint bank account and I took care of the finances so that took the pressure of my husband. Sit down together and work out a budget that you can agree on and tell him that you feel unhappy about being treated like a kid.
Maybe you could take in other kids to make some money and it would be good for your child to have other children around. Start out with one or two children who are in school and will only be around before and after school. That will give you time with your child only and time with kids you are caring for.
You might also look into a business in the home if you don’t want to look after other kids.
Don’t feel useless. You are definitely contributing by being there for your child and husband.

Did U agree to the budget? or have a say in preparing it? If U did then don’t feel like its an allowance, did he give himself an "allowance: 2. I know it feels like it is his money, but its both of yours. U R living in the house, eating the groceries, using e-mail, etc. You do have a job, U R the CEO of your home, that is the industry, and U R also the chief engineer. As a matter of fact, he is only the accountant. Now U don’t have to b responsible for the budget going haywire, and when U need something just ask him in bed in your sweetest voice. Its perfect!
