Hi SAHM may I ask what is the usual financial arrangements with your husband? Does he provide a monthly allowance to you?

I am thinking to be SAHM after my Maternity leave ends and concerned about the financial expectations - I dip into my own savings, or hubby usually provides allowance. I have tried to ask my husband but he kept quiet when I mentioned on monthly allowance to me.

After my maternity leave end I choose to be sahm too. My hub agree but till date not a single cent from him. I've been feeding myself and my baby for 1 year plus. Until I feel like divorcing got hub like no hub. Don't know what's the point.

Have a good chat. Initially, my hub wasn't comfortable with giving me a monthly allowance. Eventually, he eased into it and gave me a little more than I expected. Maybe it will help if he talks to his friends to find out what is the norm.
