No matter how much I love being with my kids, when I am not making money, I feel to an extent like I am spending my H's money, instead of OUR money.
I am right there with you all. I do work part-time (though very limited), but I still feel like I spend HIS money. Not OURS. During one R talk a couple years back, I told him that I felt like I wasn't a priority to him. Instead, I felt he thought of me as a responsibility. A financial burden. I remember him breaking down into tears, saying it was true, and that he felt terrible for feeling that way.

He is used to me being the "baby-sitter" and that is going to change soon.
Ditto - should my H and I end up in D.
cw, I hope you're feeling better today.
