I still have been lurking though! It's funny, I do the finances for our household too! We are going to see how it works out, but there is no question about being a woman and being able to handle it (oh no, numbers!). My DH and I are partners, still working out the details, but he cleans, I clean, he cooks, I cook, we both work. Maybe someday we will not feel the need to check in with one another about things so much, but I feel guilty if I don't tell him that I spent money on this or that-- we have our individual "blow" accounts to spend as we choose, but if I am spending "big" money, we CONSULT on it. That's a novel term, eh? Consult with your partner; does not mean to agree on everything, but at least talk about it. There has to be something wrong in a marriage if these gals on PT were okay with racking up 20k debt without their DH knowing! it is easier to play the blame game than admit you were wrong. <br /><br />I will have to check out the recent posts re: marriage, etc. Last week, I went over to PT and there was this poster (Scott I think) that raised a hullabaloo. There was something like 96 posts-- he was just having a civil conversation in support of MLM and actually answered each response by each PTer. I think the site owner finally pulled the plug.Luckylawgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09533191454913456635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1716666792083573252.post-91786836001702044412009-09-01T11:57:21.406-07:002009-09-01T11:57:21.406-07:00You know, my mom who was a stay at home mom (June ...You know, my mom who was a stay at home mom (June Cleaver type) and of course dad often worked two jobs to support us -it was just the way things were in that era but she use to have a cute saying...<br />You bet your dad is the head of the house, however, I am the neck which happens to control the head. lol <br /><br />I could choose to repeat something mr. mk4me and his buddies say but..

One of your last lines is:
"No one...Miranda,<br /><br />One of your last lines is:<br /><br />"No one submits to anyone."<br /><br />It seems to me though that (at least in the scenario you described) you are both submitted to each other.<br /><br />I know it may seem like a matter of semantics, but the difference (to me) makes a world of difference.<br /><br />I suspect that if neither of you were willing to submit to the other you would never have been able to come to the arrangement(s) that you have found to be so successful.<br /><br />Sorry to you and mk4me for the ailments you are suffering from.Jon Bironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06398467008484819674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1716666792083573252.post-14984127706808863362009-09-01T11:10:27.901-07:002009-09-01T11:10:27.901-07:00Got a glance at the post... now, you gotta love th...Got a glance at the post... now, you gotta love the fact that rude comments were made when they thought the article was written by a MK Husband... even name calling but when the author was later changed to one of the pters, opinions were reversed. The info was they same, why did who authored it make a difference?mk4mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14992824203382935206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1716666792083573252.post-70020005127180925422009-09-01T06:48:09.393-07:002009-09-01T06:48:09.393-07:00hey hey look at the comment on PT by dupedbypinkfr...hey hey look at the comment on PT by dupedbypinkfriend. She doesn't buy that submission hogwash either. Good for her not toeing the (retarded) party line!<br /><br />I am the rock and foundation of my household. Why? Because I am competent and capable and industrious, that's why! I am the one who is cut out to handle these things, and so I step up to the plate. Ovaries and all. Imagine that! I just ARRRRRGH this stuff makes me so mad. I bust my @$$ keeping our household running and working 3 jobs and I do it WELL, all of it, every day. I have a Master's degree from a major university. I dare anyone to demean my accomplishments on the arbitrary basis of gender. I will stomp all over them with my stompy boots!Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05501193997219416369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1716666792083573252.post-91632135026649815032009-09-01T06:33:07.339-07:002009-09-01T06:33:07.339-07:00There is some kind of tummy ick going on here too....There is some kind of tummy ick going on here too. Let's just say that Tums and Imodium are in my purse. gah.
