What To Give Wife...

The answer is you don't "give" her anything! You SHARE.

Or get a divorce

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.....

Actually Rambler, you've messed up with your calculations.

24x7 = 168.
10/168= 0.0595 x 100 = 5.9 pence per hour

Your calculation would have me paying her a staggering £28.22 per week :eek:

I must be married to the wrong bloke because I look after two toddlers full-time and still have to work part-time to get my money.

I wish someone would give me cash for doing F all. Of course it must be hard on her having all that free time. You should be paying her at least £50 a week.

The kindest thing you could give her would be a divorce.I bet working full time would be easier than living with you;)

I cannot believe you call it "my" money. Surely you are married therefore it is "our" money????

You don't "pay" your wife, that is very odd indeed.

since when has looking after a child been doing 'F All'?? I must remember to tell my childminder this along with the news that I am paying her too much.

I don't really see why just because you're married everything suddenly becomes 'ours'. I like to have my own financial independence because I don't really see why my husband should have to pay for everything, especially my luxuries. It works well for us and always has.

Would you not start to get just a teensy bit annoyed of after ten odd years of your child going to school, your partner still didn't bother working?? Or would you not mind because of course its 'our' money?

Are you actually reading his posts??

The child is 13 and goes to school full-time.

Trust me, I have two toddlers who I look after full-time and I know what hard work it is. Having nearly all day free, 5 days a week, doesn't sound like hard work to me.

Well my Mum doesn't work and my Dad does. It isn't a problem as they aren't short of money. It is their money as they are in a partnership.

My OH is going to be a house husband (I am the main bread winner).
