Having your own money

I've been a stay at home mom for only around 5 months. I used to be a working mom. Now, I'm not used to not having my own money. But I don't pity myself because I am also doing a full-time job of taking care of the kids and the house. My husband does not give me a personal budget. If there's anything left with what he gives me, that's the time I use it to buy my basic needs as a woman. If your husband gives you a budget for your personal use, don't be guilty and just use it in whatever way you like. Think of it as your bonus for being the homemaker. =)

I am a stay at home mom for 3 years when I started again to work because I was really used working ever since I only stop when a severe ailment hit me. I can say receiving money from our husband is fair enough for us don't be guilty about it because we are working so hard to keep things proper in the house and looking over for our children. Treat it as an incentive for you for the good work that you render for a certain period of time and every good work repays a good earnings lol!!

I do sometimes feel guilty that my husband is the only one who works. We agreed that it is a good thing that I am home with the kids, but it is still difficult sometimes. I make a little bit of extra money online, about a hundred a month, but I am hoping to start to make more soon. I don' really have a personal shopping budget, I just pick up the things I need when I need them.

i am not a housewife,but 5 years ago,i lost my job and stayed at home, i haven't my own money,though my husband haven't looked down upon me,but i was not pleasant,because i hope i can spend my own money to do my favourite things.now, i have my own money,i feel i am a happy woman!

I am a stay at home and I have never felt bad about buying myself things, but I do sometimes feel bad about not having my own money to buy things for my husband. Things like birthday gifts or christmas gifts. I always feel like he is buying his own gifts since I don't really work outside the home, so sometimes I feel like it is all his money. But I tend to get over that pretty quick when I think about all I do around the house.

I am a stay at home mom and we don't make enough for me to have a "personal shopping budget". We have three children and make barely enough to get by. If I had the money to have a budget, no I wouldn't feel bad or pittied. I love being at home with my children and small splurges are little to pay for the opporunity of a lifetime.
