I'm a stay at home mom, so I don't technically contribute financially, except that I do, since without me my husband would have to pay for daily child care for four kids. And let's not forget that most housekeepers, personal chefs, laundry services and taxi companies usually charge for their services. So yeah, if I want a new quilting book, I'm gonna buy it and I'm not going to ask permission first. Otherwise I might just start billing him by the hour, and let's face it, all that overtime won't come cheap!!
