My husband recently decided to hand over to me his entire paycheck every cut off and budget it for him. This includes utilities, groceries, his allowance, his parents' allowance, etc. For some reason, I am not comfortable with it. I do not like explaining why there is not much left, or where did some of it go. I am not sure I want to handle it. But I think this is his effort of making me feel more important. I dont know how to tell him that I am not ok with this new task. :(

Mama of a great big chunk of happiness!

Be honest -- money is often a sensitive and difficult thing to deal with in a relationship and if it bothers you too much, just say no. Alternatively, you can suggest that you will take on the duty but only for household related stuff (groceries, children) as you have a better understanding of these things and not his allowance etc. I'm sure he will understand.
