Sneaking purchases...

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

But let's be honest...you have to say you believe that work status doesn't affect your parenting, otherwise what a hypocrit you all would be. That's the whole premise of this debate for many of us. We who SAH DO believe that spending 40 hours a week away from especially young children DOES affect the parent-child relationship. It is okay that we feel differently about this. That's why its a debate. :)
Oh and whatever *we* you are discussing STILL doesnt include you. You are NOT a ft sahm.

Do you think that your DH had less of a relationship with your children than you do?

Well, now isn't that a solution? So, who do you know that thinks its ok to have a NO income household so both parents can SAH all day? That's just silly and you know it. Am I to believe that you are of the mentality that if both can't stay home, no one should get to? How is none better than one? And if you weren't staying home for the sake of your children, why WERE you SAH? Were you being lazy, or couldn't find the right job, or what? I don't know that I would be shouting from the rooftops, "Oh I SAH, but its not for the betterment of my kids, its just b/c I don't want to work." Hardly admirable, you think?
I could ask you the same thing...
What a complete lie. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
