MY HUSBAND HAS 3 BUSINESSES AND WE HAVE 3 CHILDREN AT HOME. He gave me $84. for grocercies this week

I drove down to the store and asked him for some more money to buy meats and vegetables and he said he didn't have it. Since I do hair part time he told me to put the rest with it.Our 3 kids are heavily involved in outside activities. I basically take care of them myself. My husband works 7 days a week (6 days at13hrs a

day, 1 day at 5 hrs).I also work partime for him 20-25 hrs per week$12per hr. That pays for my daughter school tuition and my car note. He pays all other house bills. I feel he should give me the $140 he normally gives me for groceries.

Are you venting or asking a question?

Maybe your husband has a gambling problem or is in debt but is too scared to come to you about it.

Discuss with him why he can't afford to give you the normal allowance for groceries.

..two adults and three active kids?...$84 will not cut it...

my wife would move out. If he's working that many hours maybe he should get a regular job that pays.

The simplest answer is to get a shared bank account.

My husband and I do not have my money and his money, it is our money.

Everything we earn goes into one account to pay for what is needed.

It solves a lot of problems.

tell him he can skimp on certain items but not food and groceries!

I agree he should be giving you a lot more! Also, why exactly are you working...sounds like he's doing all the sacrificing. You should be taking this time to focus on the children. Hmmm.....

Well I am thinking that when he gets tired of eating hot dogs and beans he will be more than ready to start giving you the amount of money it takes to buy the foods he is used to eating--and if he decides to argue the fact as to what it costs to feed the family you give him the shopping list and tell him to go and get all that you need on what he has given you--after he has to dig into his pocket for more money to cover the cost he will see what you say is true--

maybe he really did not have the money to give to you. do you know what it is like running a business? not only does he have the running expenses of his business to consider but he also has the running expenses of where he lives to consider and he is working all the time to keep all of that going. Why don't you consider moving your part time hours to full time so that you can have more of that money for things that you need to get done instead of waiting for him to do it all the time and maybe you can have some extra money for yourself. relieve some of the pressure off of your husband who is running the business at work and at home. running a business is not an easy task...in fact is is extremely stressfull, not to mention all of the things that can go wrong to make that stress level skyrocket thorugh the roof.

He sounds like a cheapskate! I get annoyed when I hear men talk about "my money" and "your money" when people are married. He is obviously bringing in a bit of money (more than you) and they are HIS kids too. Either he's secretly blowing the money, or he's another one of these men that only care about "their money".

this doesn't sound like a marriage. you sound like the care giver and he sounds like the absent master. and you the slave.

If you two trusted each other all your money should be in the same pot and the two of you agree how the money should be spent.

How about when he gets home there is no food in the refrigerator and no dinner on the table. Maybe if he gets hungry enough he will realize you need more money for food.

Get him to go with you to the grocery store and see the price of things

Maybe he should give you that extra money but WHAT ABOUT IF HE HASN"T GOT IT!

He said he didn't have it! Are you thick or do you not trust him?

I run my own business and have many friends who run their own businesses.

Small businesses in general are not doing too well at the moment.

The poor bugger is working his fingers to the bone and you sound like you are too. Life's tough! live with it!

You could ask him for some extra hours as you work part time for him. But if he hasn't got the money, you won't get paid! ha ha.

I was working those sort of hours and my wife was able to spend every penny we earned! So I left her and gave her the house, the car and all the money we had! Only then did she realise that I really didn't have any more money. Nearly 2 years later and my friends are still feeding me while I try to pay back the loans I took to pay for the divorcethat left her with all the assets and me with all the loans!

Don't drive your husband to this unless you really don't trust him!

Maybe he has a lady on the side and she is getting your grocery money.

"He gives you"? How about sitting down and working out a budget with him, where you are just as much in charge of your finances as he is? You're his wife, you should have equal access to the money, not always be begging him for it. Sounds like he's either a tighta**, or a really sh1tty provider.
