Find answers to your legal question.





was i wrong?

my husband and i got into a arugument last night over money because i spent 100 on the kids yesterday afternoon

Not necessarily. IS this a common argument between you? Do you have a household budget? If not, start working on a plan to allocate some money, weekly or monthly to free spending for you and the kids. Set an amount, like $20 a week or whatever that you can spend however you'd like, no questions asked. Then you are both on the same page and if you want to go tanning or whatever you can as long as you are within your budget.

i call this spoiled..are you a working mother?or stay at home...do you know the concept of money?


Fiona
it depends what you spent the money ON- was it something fun, like an outing that theyll remember? if it was, youre completely justified. If it was buying them a new toy for no reason, then maybe not. and youre not spoiled, just high maintenance (sorry.) maybe try to cut down- get your nails done no more than every 2 weeks, your hair done every 2 months or so, and dont go tanning- it's unhealthy and kind of stupid. fake tans don't look good on anyone, and you are really prone to melanoma. wouldnt you rather get that tan out having fun on the beach of something?

anyway, good luck with your husband. hope things work out =)

I have to agree with your husband on this one. Getting your hair and nails done is hardly considered a necessity. However, I don't see how spending $100.00 on your children is spoiling them (unless it is done daily).

How often do you do these things ? do you do them because you have to go to fancy parties for his job than no. If you do these things and hit McDonalds with the kids than yes you are spoiled
Was the $100 for school clothes or toys that will be put in the closet in a week and never touched again ? than your kids are also spoiled


TotallyDude
Hey if it's your money then you can spend it how ever you want. Just don't go overboard with it.

Maybe he is beginning to have financial problems and don't want to tell you , that could be a way of saying, slow down

No!.its your guys's Money.whatever is his is urs,and you have the right to do what you like as long as its within reason...now spoiling the kids is a different story.IF you do it alot then yes you are wrong.


Kerry
If you are going out and make purchases of $100 or more without discussing it with your husband, you are indeed doing things inappropriately. Large purchases should always be discussed, no matter which one of you is intending on the purchase. Communication avoids these issues and allows for both of you to reach agreement on how to parent.


Virgo27
I think your husband was right, even if you have enough money to spend. Money does not grow on trees.


JacquelineN
getting hair and nails done are necessities. if you make more than enough money, you should save some, invest some and surely spend some. once you die, that money will not becoming with you. $100 in one afternoon is not bad at all.

$100 on what? If there are two kids and you just spent $50 on each for new clothes that they actually need, then no, that's not out of line. If you spent $100 on toys when they just had their birthdays, then yes, that's overboard. It all depends on the situation at hand. What was the money spent on? How often are you spending large amounts of money on them?

You said "kids" but never specified how many or how old they are. That info would help, also.

yeah maybe. maybe you just need to reduce your money spend. try not to spoil your kids.

no, guys have little things that they waist their money on. LIKE STRIPPERS. but i highly doubt thats where his money goes to. there are things tho that guys spend too much on.

Well alot of that depends on how much you spend a week /month on yourselves. We all can go alittle crazy at times with spending hehe.


thesaltydog27
It depends on what you spent the money on for the kids... if you both have agreed on a budget or are tight with money then it would be an issue.


Violet Pearl
Sounds like it's time to set up a family budget.

no. if you got the $$$$$$$ spend it you cant take it with you


Eldude
If your making good money, then he may be a cheap miser and needs help.

If your in debt or trying to save, maybe you should practice a little bit of frugality.

Try not spending so much money on YOURSELF and not so much on your chilredn limit yourself to how much you can spend every day :) Dont get your hair nails and tanning done ALLLLL the time just sometimes.

Hope this helps

ask yourself, "are those things necessities...or wants?"


Frank R
get your own job and make your own money you can do with whatever you want


Mr Goodhi ©
possibly, it depends on what you bought them .Was it necessities or non-necessities?
