DP works full time, I work a couple of days a week and do all of the housework/childcare/gardening/bill paying/paperwork except on the odd occasion where I will ask him to do something/muck in if the place is a bomb/somethings too heavy.
I have been buying a few bits and bobs...and I mean a few, like five quid a weeks worth of xmas/birthday bits for our kids. Nobody elses just ours. And hes whinged.
I have sighed and said For F*ks sake, Ill just leave it yeah, then they will have have nothing...I dont think so
Whats the situation like in your house?

Never. DH works full time, I am SAHM. We just have the one joint account and all money is considered joint funds.

We've never argued about money. We have separate bank accounts and a joint account for all household expenditure. We each put the same percentage of our income into the joint account each month, then what's left in our own accounts is ours to spend. DP earns more than me, so tends to pay for more treats for us as a family than I do. Fortunately we've never had any financial problems, so have never needed to get stressed about who's spending what.
