Hiya all
not so much issues, its me being curious. DP works full time, earns roughly £200 a week. The WTC cheque arrives on a friday in his name. I get the child tax credits in my bank on a tuesday. Roughly £50 - 60 a week goes into my bank. By the time Ive put petrol in the car £20 a week to get dp to work and ds to school, Paid ds's dinner money, got bits we need I barely have £10 left. DP often tells me I "eat" my money away. referring as the child tax credits as my money. He keeps the rest. I also pay the car insurance out of my account. He pays the rest of the bills through DD or on his debit card. Which is understandable. If i ask for money for something he will give me it but it often winds me up that he thinks I "eat" my money.
TBH I cant remember the last time I bought something for myself. I dont know how to approach the subject because he keep making this comment. do other SAHM just make do with the tax credits they get?
Im currently PG with no2 due anyday now so not able to go back to work. I am waiting to start my childminding after we have had this baby though. It drives me mad sometimes!
