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.

My children are home with a nanny about 47 or so hours a week without a parent.

Don't many people give up good paying jobs just because dc is unacceptable and out of a fear of and the possibility of abuse? I did. THis is certainly not unheard of. Aren't there a few WOHMs uncomfortable with the conduct of their dc providers? Wouldn't some WOHMs quit if they could afford it because of a fear that the dc provider is not treating their children as well as they could themselves?
"I'm totally saying this as an outsider who's never used dc. Do you really find that dc providers "love" your children? "
