Oh how I envy you! I would LOVE to buy an old house and redo the whole thing! It is a lot of work but it is so rewarding in the end. Our town is full of those big old houses that I would just love to get my hands on but dh would rather cut off all his appendages than take on a project like that! Good luck to you and dh on getting yours done!
I think alot of men like to feel like the old fashioned "I am taking care of my woman & family" man. "MY" money will be used for the IMPORTANT things like a roof over our head. And alot of woman like to feel like there are being taken care of and take pleasure in pointing out how their money could be thrown to the wind as it is not going towards anything important like an electric bill. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such great pains to point out how the money is divided, accounted, used, not used and played with. KWIM?
I'd love to have a fix up old home, but I can't see my hubby doing that or agreeing to it. First thing I said to my hubby when we found out we were moving south is that I wanted an old home. He said no, he wants to buy brand spanking new. Oh well.
Like I said in an above post, I personaly believe that when it is discussed that wife's $$ is play $$ it is because alot of men like to feel like the old fashioned "I am taking care of my woman & family" man. "MY" money will be used for the IMPORTANT things like a roof over our head. And alot of woman like to feel like there are being taken care of and take pleasure in pointing out how their money could be thrown to the wind as it is not going towards anything important like an electric bill. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such great pains to point out how the money is divided, accounted, used, not used and played with.

I would more likely say my parenthood gives me the right to SAH in conjunction with my spouse's approval.
