I too am a SAHM and we only have a joint account...
I buy and sell alot so i rarely take money out of the bank account but if i want to then DH is usually ok with it (depending on our finances that month) ...i dont go out much, dont smoke, dont drink etc and nappies are my hobby for now so he is generally fine with it. Every now and then i transfer some paypal funds into the bank acc to keep him happy
I think im lucky that he is just really ok with it and he is happy for me to spend as much as we have to spend...some months thats nothing and some months i can get away with it... Plus i do remind him every now and then how much it would cost per month in sposies (nappies and wipes) and that usually helps keep him on side since he likes the 're-sale' factor of cloth nappies
I have so much to sell but never get round to actually doing it
We are saving to put a deposit down on a house at the moment so I know money is tighter than usual. Just taking me a while to get used to not having 'my own' money
He does really like the idea of cloth and I do keep saying we need more so maybe I should just order some, to be honest I probably over think things and he wouldn't be bothered if I bought them, just strange now that I dont have an income almost feel as if I have to ask for money
Like you I dont smoke/drink/buy many clothes for myself/haven't been on a night out since Darcy was born. I just used to be a nightmare with spending money and got myself into debt before meeting DH and he has always been good at saving so we strike a good balance
