I'm a SAHM and don't get an allowance for our son. We have joint accounts, he gets paid, I take all money I need for bills and groceries, stuff for baby etc. most of our bills come out of my bank account. It was easier to leave things set how they were before I stopped working and just transfer money when needed.

I'm a SAHM and don't get an allowance either. My "husband" and I aren't married I just have access to his account and take what I need. I think that as long as you don't have a spending problem you shouldn't have an allowance. You should be able to get what you need for your children. When I think of allowance I think of a parent child relationship not a partnership.

Calculate what you spend monthly for clothes, leisure and anything else he utilises and round it up.

I just ask for money if we go anywhere or she wants fast food and he usually sends more than we need
