How old is your child?

Only £10/week?!??! :eek:

Gimme 2 seconds while I produce a list of luxuries £1.43 per day can buy you...erm...2 bags of Haribos?

How about treating her like an adult and the mother of your children rather than a child who gets "pocket money". What a bizzare way of conducting a relationship.

@PB - 13
@Choccy - um no, haribos would be classed as food, thus already bought
@ Rambler - clearly not. if you read my post.

I really don't see how anyone can defend her now tbh.

Her 'kid' is 13!! She should get a job.

My Mum doesn't work (she has in the past but doesn't now) she is far from lazy and keeps the house. Her and my Dad share money like any normal couple.

If money is tight then she should get a job but otherwise this guy needs to realise that a marriage is not about giving out pocket money to one's partner.

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.....

you say that like fatherhood isn't

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.

so the answer is somewhere between 10 and priceless hmmm room for manoevre

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

and what about time for me

britguy_2

nah I earn atleast 1.5x national average. but why should i give her my hard earned cash.
it's not like she keeps the house sterile. she also doesn't do the cooking.
