Tbh, I would not want that big of an age gap but the stay at home wife seems normal. That's kind of how a marriages was in my parents generation, fairly common in Muslim community if wife doesn't want to work she's entitled to get maintenance from husband based on what she was used to at home before marriage and her needs (even if she's working she's entitled to it aswell). However personally think this is only nice when you don't have kids lol. After kids this seems like hell lol.

$100 isn't enough 😅. I'd ask for a raise and then take that money and pay someone else to do it.

Wouldn't bother me tbh. I barely ever spend fun money on myself because I just don't feel the need to but when I do, my husband couldn't care less. We have a joint bank account he barely ever looks at and he trusts I am directing the finances wherever they need to go and I'm making wise decisions. I never go without and if there's something bigger I want I ask him about it and we either plan for it or he just tells me to buy it because he knows I'll use it. Some weeks I'll exceed a hundred and others I won't come anywhere near it

My husband and I share a bank account. If he gave me $100 a week it would feel demeaning. Being a SAHM is work too you just don’t get paid for it. I’m still contributing to the household, so I should have equal access to the money. It looks like the woman in the video isn’t watching children atm but she’s doing housework which is still work

I didn’t look at the video yet I just read the title but as a sahw or m personally I would need access to all of my spouses funds in order for me to feel safe or feel that it’s worth my not working and bringing in my own income apart from my husband. My husband brings his checks home to me - all of them. I manage all funds that enter and exit our home but even if this were not the case I would still need to be with a spouse where I at least have access to all accounts as a joint owner ideally. & so for me it’s not about an amount per week that I need to make but rather it’s about my spouse having enough trust in me to at least have access to all finances at all times. I don’t necessarily need to mange them but they’d definitely need to be available to me otherwise I wouldn’t personally feel that things are balanced.

I’m in the ‘we do this’ category. My partner pays me £100 a week to maintain the home/clean/cook/look after the animals, and take our daughter out to playgroup etc. He earns a very healthy wage and I didn’t want to return to work after having our daughter. So we worked it out based on what we’d be paying a cleaner and pet sitter etc. it works great for us.

This is interesting say the least. I don't find anything wrong with the arrangement, they're both happy with it. I did cringe after hearing their ages, they're the same ages as me and my father 😳. And I don't agree with her views of feminism. I'm glad their relationship works for them but I don't think it gives her the right to say their way is the best way or the only right way, and I get those vibes from them, especially her.

$100 is nothing..my husband gives me his entire paycheck and i give him an allowance off that, working husband should give a stay at home wife the money to manage but if they’re happy with that arrangement good for them
