“ What value do you perceive in allocating joint contributions towards family discretionary travel?
In my opinion, informing W that you, without any consultation with her, nor agreement from her, decided to alter the financial status quo to fund family trips from the joint monies is likely to not go well. Neither will the gracious allowing her access to said monies for things she wants to do with the kids. Not to mention it opens up a can of worms that is best left undisturbed.”
That resonates with my instincts about this and it’s helpful for me to read your input. Thanks. I will personally budget my autonomous resources accordingly.
