What To Give Wife...

britguy_2

My wife does not work she looks after the kid. I pay for all the bills, food etc.

I give her £10 a week "luxury" spending money. Now she is moaning she wants more.

What say you?

Get thee to the joke thread.

omg, you make it sound like you are paying for everything whist she merely stays at home looking after the 'kid'.

Presuming that you are not a troll, which I think you could well be. She looks after you child, she is not a skivvy. It would cost you alot more if she was to work in child care fees. Give the poor woman a break and treat her now and again, I am sure she could do with a break.

A sex ban until she's more appreciative.

I'm prob feeding the troll but I'll answer anyway!

Your wife does work, looking after kids is a 24 hour job, just not paid in £££'s.

And as for the "luxury" spending money, would you be happy with that? Are you not a team, working together and dividing things equally?

britguy_2

why should there be an equal divide, as i'm the one who's earning the money. Anyway it's not a 24/7 job as the kid is at school and i'm there in the evenings etc.

What about giving her enough "luxury" spending money to buy one way tickets to far away for your wife and "the kid" ?

I suspect troll but oh well.

I cannot believe that any husband would give their wife "spending money"! Why on earth did you marry the poor woman? Marriage is supposed to be an equal partnership, you share money!

Try giving her enough money for a solicitor.

How's she a poor woman? She lives in nice house, has own car, etc.
If she wanted more money she could easily go out to work during the day but she just can't be bothered.

Firstly motherhood is a 24 hour job, with no starting and finishing time, no lunch hours or breaks. So 24 hours X 7 devided by £10 is 16.8p an hour, but as i am generous lets round it up to 17p an hour. That is slave labour.....

How is she going to have any self esteem if she feels she is only worth £10 a week pamper money, she should feel as if she is priceless, especially to you and your child.

Treats can be free or cheap, a pamper day at the local college, or a massage from you, a bunch of flowers from your garden, a home cooked meal, the list is endless if money is an issue.....
And a better one givining her free time for herself where you look after the child

Can she not work during school hours??

I would be bored as hell, just sitting at home all day or doing housework. Plus I would want my own independence and own money.

You've got alot of stick so far but I can see your point. What does she actually do all day??
