True, but WH could make Ebenezer Scrooge look like a spendthrift! He HATES to spend money!
That's why I took the checkbook away from him early in the marriage - he'd stress over little things, like a can of peas that cost 23.2 cents per unit vs 23.8 cents. It was more than I could deal with then and WAY more than I can deal with now, given that our monthly expenses are in the thousands.
I'm trying to be calm and collected, but DD 10 told me that when she asked Dad last night why they couldn't go to summer camp, he said it was "Because Mom spends too much and doesn't earn enough."
WTF?!
Maybe I should submit a bill to him for all the housekeeping, laundry, cooking, taxi service, and most expensively, CHILDCARE I've done over the last ten years while he's worked 70-80 hours a week -- to show him how much I SAVED by NOT working full time? All the stress I've taken off of him for NOT having to fool with children?
