Husband's bad habbit
My husband is constantly wasting money on crap he doesn't even need! It makes me furious then he tells me we have no money for anything. We have a baby due in 2 months and I'm so stressed out that he doesn't want to save he doesn't even try to get diapers hee keeps saying we don't have money yet he keeps spending it on tools he doesn't even use!!! I'm currently not working but I don't have any money of my own and he doesn't give me any kind of allowance I am so stressed out to the max.
Most of the guys are like that I didn't ask my husband i only told him i need money and if u don't give any then I'm asking my mom so i made him give me $800 on a weekend and got what my baby girl needs I'm due on Thursday and i have everything he never has money but i always ask hom for money when he gets paid even if i don't need it ,u should do that
Some free clinics help you with essentials idk where u live but check if they have a you matter pdhc clinic .. you can even take free classes earn points to buy baby stuff from their store
I'm glad to see I'm not alone in this my husband is not stingy nor does he say it's "my money" he just doesn't realize how soon our baby will be here :( we're first time parents so everything is very new to us
Thats why I took over our finances, he works and I make the bill payments, put money in savings and keep track of our spending budget..you should tell him you want to try seeing how you do managing everything and take the stress off him of trying to, he might take it better that way
Rather or not you are working isn't the case , you're carrying a child that will NEED diapers . You don't necessarily need a baby tub, they give you the little tubs from the hospital that you can use to wash the baby. & anyhow , from the time the baby is born & until like 2 weeks I wouldn't wash my baby until the 3rd week in water . I suggest hand washes only with a mild wash cloth w/ mild soap on it that's for the baby. I honestly don't have this problem because i'm working until I go into labor(: He needs to realize that this is not a babydoll that will be coming into the world ... & nor can the baby care for itself either.
Ladies, just because you don't punch a time card doesn't mean you don't work. Being a mom is a non stop, thankless job. If your man claims the money is his because he's the one with the job, he needs to grow up, and you need to stick up for yourself. You should have equal say on where the money goes.
Girl my bf spends money in a bunch of sh it he doesn't need either....but I don't work and it's his money so I can't say nothing
I'm sorry you're going threw that. Have you tried to brake it down to him. For example have a list of just the essentials and how much they cost. Then have the # of checks he will get from now till when the baby comes. He might be in denial and feel like he has all the time in the world. Sometimes writing it down is a reality check for them. And explain to him with the amount of money he spent on that tool ya'll could have gotten this and this for the baby. Explain that you don't mind him buying things he wants but the baby need to take priority.
Some en are like that. You really don't need a bathtub. You can bathe baby in the kitchen sink. Is someone throwing you a baby shower? Maybe you can get the things you need that way. Wish I could be more help.
On top of that we still have a lot of essentials our baby needs such as diapers bottles blankets bathtub why is he so irresponsible? ? :(
