Allowance?

[Sahm]

Ive been staying home with my kid for years approx. 3 years. We originally negotiated I would have 150 cash a week. Then it went down to 100 then to 80 until now I have to ask for cash.....getting a job isnt going to work Id just end up paying the cost of childcare. This isnt how it works huh? Note Im a younger mom I had my baby at 16...

I'd never stay with a man like that. When I was a SAHM DH didn't give me money. Things were bought that needed bought regardless of who made the money. Not like I had to ask if I needed a new bra or something.

There is no way i would be a sahm without full access to the money. I never did the allowance shit. Go back to work and tell him he is paying half of childcare

That's not acceptable. You're partners. The money belongs to both of you equally.

No intelligent adult has an allowance

Have some self respect

I tend to know how much money we have to spend and if I want something, i ask out of politeness but hes also never told me no.

That would scare me. That's a form of abuse. At the very least it's controlling. I'd try to work around his schedule or get family help or do anything to be able to work. This leaves a bad taste in my mouth. If he refuses to "let" you work, you have bigger problems.

I wouldn't allow anyone to give me an allowance. I'm not a child.
