Hello ladies,
In this modern world especially when we are working moms, the hubbies oso very smart. They will try to have us share share the household burden. I don't mind sharing but every time when it comes to splitting bills, i feel very stressed. My hubby is the stingy type and i think i'm contributing more for the family. For every "claim" from him, it seems that I have to explain what they are and he made me feel like I'm trying to cheat him! So to avoid getting into any argument, I just pay and not claim. even if we go restaurant for dining, i would be the one paying as he feels it wasn't his "wants" to eat in a restaurant. He LOVES hawker centers!
I have a question for you ladies though. My hubby needs a car to move around a lot for his work. It's kind of like he needs a car to help him make money. Do you all think I should share the burden of the loan? For the cars he had driven, I did contribute for the downpayment but should I calculate the monthly installment into our monthly household expenses? He told me he has burden for the road tax, insurance, petrol, maintenance etc. But to me is the car is his tool for money making so should I even get involved? Moreover I contribute to the downpayment. We are not wealthy, just no worries on financial and his income can jolly well pay for eveything. He just want to whine..
We have dogs and I have been paying the medical bills for them which totalled to 5 digits but I didn't claim from him cos to me is it was me whom wanted the dogs so I LL. On kids, maid, insurance we all share 50/50..
Every month I will pay for everything except for the SP bills, then year end I will calculate and claim from him. So whenever it comes to billing time, i will be very sianzzz....... just like submitting year end report to boss!
I'm not trying to avoid sharing but just want some thoughts from you ladies.
Have a good weekend!
