I pay the bills!

I control it he sends me all the money usually š

My husband doesnāt wanna know anything about the money. He just wants to know if he can spend any and I tell him yes or no all he does is ask me if thereās money in which account, each account is for something different so he knows what he can spend money on.

I take full control of everything. We have a joint checkings and savings account. I pay the bills w joint and put everything else into savings. Hes free to buy whatever lol but of course depending on the situation.

I know zero about our bills, he gets paid, he pays everything. I just swipe the cards.

I created a budget sheet and am the one who knows how to competently fill it out, but we sit together while I fill it out & we discuss money & finances together often.
We have a joint account & My partner is in charge of actually paying the bills

I do the budget etc. but we both have access to all our money and talk to each other about big purchases outside of our norm before doing them

We have joint accounts and personal accounts. All money goes into the joint accounts, and we each get a set āallowance.ā He loves financial planning, so he sets up the annual budget and runs the spreadsheet, but we both have full access to all shared money.

Iām the family CFO but he is the CEO so big decisions are run through him and day to day stuff is my domain

I control it all. He doesnāt have a scooby what bills we pay, how much each is and when they need paying. Works for us heās pretty useless at stuff like that

I have access, but my husband takes care of the logistics of finances.

If I donāt do it weād be living under a bridge , but he does works his ass off . Just bad with finances

I donāt want to know I am just free to swipe his card anytime for anything I donāt have to ask
As respect I do ask when itās a big amount of money even though he wonāt say no (well he knows Iām also reasonable)
He is not controlling, and if one day it would change I still have lots of money in my account from when I was working .
Also it wonāt be always like that, for now our kids are young and Iām a SAHM (and I donāt want more mental load !!! Each their responsabilties) but when the kids will be back to work I will go back to work.
TBH I never saw myself being dƩpendant before meeting my husband, as my mom was financially controlled and it traumatized me.
But now Im in peace like that even though I still have this « and if? « in my head, but I already want so down in many ways that I know I can go back from zero anyways

I control everything. He barely even knows when heās been paid before itās split up among our various accounts š
hi everyone! probably a long shot but me and my partner are expecting our first child in feb at only 19 and 18 years old. Weāve tried looking online for an app like this for my partner to make some dad friends new or existing around his age but havenāt had any luck. is there anyone who has a partner who would like to reach out and connect and hopefully make friends x

my husband and i are fighting intensely. not only am i 8 weeks postpartum, im VERY sleep deprived and postpartum depressed and we have a lot going on like too much debt, failed businesses, moving countries, about to be living with my MIL, me having no car available or any way to work or leave, never able to start my career or anything. we shouldnāt have moved abroad and we shouldnāt have had a baby. i have no family either. iāve never imagined this would be my life and i never imagined i would be thinking this. what would you do in my situation?

Hi all! - sorry in advance this is a complete ramble and probably is ridiculous
Second time mum here with a slightly silly story but wanted some encouraging advice as I am an over thinker
I have obviously just found out Iām pregnant me and my boyfriend have been together for 3 years we met in work and chose to keep our relationship private due to my position in work he left the company earlier this year
I started dropping hints a few months ago that me and said person where going on dates etc to try and get it out there as I didnāt want anybody to see us out having dinner or drinks or whatever
And now I have to tell them Iām pregnant obviously not straight away but at some point and Iām so worried what the responce will be! As they think we have only been seeing each other a few weeks. Also my oldest daughter (from previous relationship) has recently started school and I had to change my hours to accommodate drop off and pick up due to being the only parent who can do this Iām worried my boss will be funny with me now as I advised I was on my own but now Iām pregnant and have a new partner (obviously my current partner works too and canāt pick her up or drop her off) am I worrying over nothing?

Has anyoneās babies specifically under 6 months, faced a UTI issue or diagnosed with an E. coli infection?
Would love to hear any experiences your babies have gone through or the type of medication they were put to cure.
Any grunting that happened to your babies before they were diagnosed for it?
