Daily Spending

[Judithand2]

We are a normal family with 3 DC. Our income is low so we do not pay tax, just to give you an idea on the salaries etc.
i am trying to monitor the daily spending that goes out of our joint account. I buy bi weekly shop and myself and the kids eat at home. However DH seems to not care about his spendings. Today he spent almost 20 quid on his lunch and breakfast. Where our family food budget per week is 100.

YANBU to expect him to prepare and bring food from home and eat what everyone else in the family eats
YABU he works hard let the man eat

@Alcibiade I thought you'd ended the conversation with @HELLITHURT ?

@Alcibiade telling the OP how to sort the problem with her DHs spending, by making his lunch for him. It's not helpful. Your DW may do it, more fool her.

I thought no the answer is he does his own lunch from food at home, I'm sure he's capable.

He could get a better paid job and earn the money for fancy lunches?

If your joint income is really that low with 3 children, have you checked Turn2us calculator to see if you're entitled to anything
DH is hugely unreasonable

Sounds like my xh.

I'm a mortgage broker and honestly you speak the truth! I see so much of this.

Steve, is that you?!

I’m on a much higher income and only buy the occasional coffee
I take food to work for lunch and don’t buy takeaways

Who's Steve?! 🤔
