to be annoyed that dh will not let me have the gorgeous Mercedes car that is parked outside our house?

[oliveoil]

He claims it is for a client!

Client my arse, where are his priorities fgs, I have given him 2 children had my stomach slashed and my nethers stitched and what thanks do I get?

Do you think divorce is too harsh or just separate for a while?

TIA

I suppose if you look at it that way, our income is pooled too - he puts in his salary plus bonus and commission, share dividends etc and I put in the child benefit...so we're virtually equal really!!

I am a sole parent, no DH or DP anywhere in sight - should I be furious when as a WOHM I buy my SAHM self a car. One (of many) little conundrums I have to consider.

Kewcy, you'd be undermining yourself doing that..could you live with it???

just spoken to dh- he's quite happy for me to buy him a new merc if i feel the need but he said he'd prefer a range rover

We went to the Mercendes Benz World for our Firms Christmas do - it was fab - and we saw all the cars - including one costing £660K

Dh promised to buy it for me , for next christmnas - yeah right, from our joint account - I don't see the point of having seperate accounts when you are married. We don't buy 'eachother' anything in that sense - everything that is bought is paid for by us.

Notice xenia has dipped out of this thread...
Pmsl at the rest of it though v.funny

binkle - no don't think I'd have any respect for myself if I tried to demean myself by buying a mercedes. Thats why I haven't done it

Ha Kewcy, I for one think you deserve, in fact, are DUE a merc, or whatever else you fancy. Bringing up children is what matters, not who does what and you're doing it alone and I really respect that

its OK binkle _ I have convinced myself that what I really really wanted was... a Vauxhall meriva so I bought one of those. Be still my beating heart.

Sometimes I go and drool on my sisters Aston Martin but obviously only in a disrespectful way because her DH bought it (thought it is "theirs" not "hers" so maybe that is OK - am confused now).

What a git! I hope you've recommended she that she leaves him immediately!

It's a bloody CAR. I don't get the excitment some people feel for these things.

And if you want one, buy one. Why does DH need to "let" you?

sometimes my sister (deep breath - admission coming) buys me stuff too (though not cars sadly) - now I feel unclean.

off to board meeting, let me know when I can pick up the keys binkle...

Well then, they clearly deserve each other. He's oppressing her and in turn, she's taking it out on you, her own sister! the shame of it!!!

Have a good meeting, dont forget to to launch a hostile takeover bid, thus bumping your status up no end whilst you're there and make Xenia and Mozhe proud!!!!

do some of you not get that this is a silly, jokey thread ?

Thought we were joking? Or are we just no funny

not you, you daft bat . I was talking to UnquietDad, Xenia, Mozhe et al

I think it's great
...do carry on

I might have known how this tghread turned out.

Anyway, I have fallen out with cars. Mines' j7st cost me the best part of 250 squids.

Oh, thanks nom,

And in our house DP buys the car, because I drive it. He can't drive, so if he wants a lift to his football/rugby/cricket matches he'd better bloody well suplly the wheels.

hatrick - completely agree on non-competitive marriage - I don't think a competitive marriage is a "proper" marriage, actually. Marriage is about each contributing their best for mutual benefit and enacting economies of scale for the greater good of the family IMO.
