Dp has had to take a pay drop of about £200 a month which his boss agreed to pay back when things picked up abit, he has received half of what he's owed which mounts to about £1000, he messaged me and said don't worry about Xmas we will have enough money etc, we do not have joint fiances his wages go into his bank and I ask for money if I need or want anything anyhow he gave me his bank card to buy something whilst I was out and I still had it in my purse today so asked if I could buy some Thankyou cards and stamps to which he questioned whether we would need that many so I checked The bank account to see if we were short of money but he didn't want to say, there was no where near £1000 so asked him how the hell we've spent that amount in a few days to which he said oh I put half of it into my private bank account to make sure we have enough next month and then got really shitty about it! Is he being controlling with " family " money ? Fwiw I am a sahm and work isn't an option at the moment

@Coseynightin

Asking for 50% childcare costs is counter productive - he could surely ask for 50% living expenses?

I hate that women think looking after their own children think they should be paid for it.

Their joint children

Na your rignt it's rediculous 🙄 Instead I propose. Criminal action for sexually unreasonable men. Funnily fraud, lies and coersion are illegal in business but not in domestic situations. Jail time for men who refuse to raise their offspring. Forced sterilisation, removal of rights and exile or death oh wait forgot that was only for 'bad' women...fuck me male contraception... Imagine that🤣🤣🙄 and no Condoms and the snip don't count. Funny how only female contraction is hormonal can make you infertile and is irreversible

Sorry if this hasn't been answered but why isn't working an option?

How much money does he have squirrelled away is a bank account in his sole name? How much do you have in your savings account?
Funny that any money in his account is squirreled away but in hers it is just had.

She has to ask her mum for money if her DP is not available so can imagine a savings account was either exhausted a long time ago or never existed.
