My husband and I have reconsiled about 9months ago. He was unemployed and still is. The agreement was that he would take the kids to school, ect. and get a part time jog to make ends meet. Well, I am sick and tired of him not working and seriously, the bare min, gets done around the house.

After a big fallout yesterday, he turned it around and said he was wating for a side job in Aug. But still was not clear as to what he is going to do till then. He made the comment that I made enough money and it would be nice if I gave him some funds to go and have some quality time with kids that it would make him feel more of a man.

He said that he wants me to make a budget so he can see the “big piichure”.I told him I would but honestly, I am not confortable with it. I feel that I should tell him that once he gets a job and gives me all his money, then we can “share our money” and work out budgets.

Do you think I should share my finances with him? Whats your op.on this?

I’m 14, and my parents are in their late 50’s/early 60’s. Even though there’s a super huge age gap, we’re almost like best friends. My father recently retired from a job that had a lot of great perks (i.e lux vacays for the family, good income, world traveling). My mother hasn’t worked since I was born, and all of a sudden, it feels like money and bugeting is the only thing on our minds. My parents come from humble backrounds, so they never believed in “spoiling” me, and I don’t believe that I’ve been spoiled. Things just seem so different since he stopped working, and I’ve felt very uncomfortable doing any thing involving spending money because of my parent’s constant talk about budgeting. Am I overreacting, or should I ask my parents about our financial situation? If I do ask them, how do I say it without it being weird? Please help me, I’m just trying to put my mind at ease, or know if I shouldn’t spend any $$$.
