I was reading another board about sneaking purchases past their husband's. I know I use to sneak before we started doing our finances together. I would actually come home during lunch to get the mail or unload packages. I was pitiful. Even now, I will bring things in the house and wince thinking how upset Devin would be with me.
So, have you ever hid purchases or not told your DH the whole picture of your finances? We use to horrible fights about finances. I would do the weekly budget and e-mail him it. We would discuss it and everything was fine. Then, he would tell me two days later that he was doing a marathon that cost $75.00. I had to actually ask him before we did the budget-Do you have any marathons? Do you need shoes? Do you have any equipment you need? Can you tell I

We were going to go to an open house for a local private school and DS2 looks at us and says, "I have one question. Do I have to wear special clothes?" When we told him he wouldn't be able to wear his sweatpants, he said, "That's it. I'm not going." LOL! He is my loveable slob. :-) He reminds me of Pig Pen from the Peanuts characters. Dirt jumps up and is attracted to him! LOL!
Well, my DD outgrows shoes every 3 months. She is 2 1/2 and wears a size 10!!!! There is no way I am dropping $40 on a pair of shoes she will only wear for a few months....I am too po' for that!!! Plus, she loves her Dora the Explorer boots and would sleep with them if we let her ;) (She chose them herself...hee hee)
LOL!
(your younger dd is already 15 months old??)

Since you did, you'd recall that I said it wasn't perfect terminology....
I wasn't insisting parenting is employment, however, since you mention it...it is employment in a sense. I would have to pay for child care if I didn't do it myself. The reason I don't get paid dollars is because it would be silly to pay myself! Besides, I get lots of rewards that are not monetary.
