I think he should go with "Money".
CC needs to change his nick to LL Cool CC. He's the only guy who could post that and get the women backing him up.

You're not unreasonable. It was an unrealistic request.
But your bigger concern should be what is bothering your wife that is making her demanding. Until that gets solved, the requests are not going to stop.
Sounds like she feels she needs more help.
Nothing a shovel across the head can't fix...
Let's keep the pedicures our little secret too!Dang, why is she working?
I would be having lunch with friends all the time. Oh wait, I already do that.Shhhh, don't tell my husband.
damm with her 2000.00
I wonder how many teddies she has
cc must like her in teddies
I do not know you, but...
Are you sure she wanted to work because she wanted more money? Maybe she was feeling lonely with the kids grown up and gone. You said that all she wants to talk about now is her work- are you feeling less attended to since she started to work. Did her life before revolve around you and the kids? Maybe she is feeling unappreciated or unneeded and is filling the void with shopping and spending money. Money also often means power to people- especially if you have been earning all the money and she has been relying on you for an allowance- no matter how much it has been. I really do not think this is just about money, but I do not know her.
I think Ploto has a point. There is more to this that just the money and wanting you to clean house. Do you ever leave work early because you want to play golf or want to meet a friend for a couple of drinks? Do you ever leave work early just to be with her? Being self employed means you work harder than if you had a 40 hour work week but it does allow you some freedom that you wouldn't normally have.
Let's keep the pedicures our little secret too!
And how did she handle that? Did you ever ask her if she wanted to be a part of it? I am not justifying her spending all that money and you sound like a really nice guy CC but as the wife of someone who owns their own business it took a long time before I ever considered it my business as much as his. Even though my name was on the corporate papers I never felt like it belonged to me until I started being an active part of it on a daily basis. Being a part of it has made me feel like I am actually contributing to the family finances........and no matter how much work I have done over the years as a SAHM, a small part of me felt like a child waiting for my allowance. That is probably why she got that job.
I do not know you at all
but alot of self employed people work 60 plus hours
maybe she is feeling left out
do you spend time with her?
I do everything except his billings since I don't know coding. We only have one employee. I do the payroll, make the deposits, and pay the bills and do the payroll taxes. I also don't do the corporate taxes.
We were paying a billing service at first until we found out they weren't billing in a timely manner (and we cannot recoup a good chunk of change as you have to bill insurances in so many days). They caused a few very lean months for us.
Translation: Buy her a Mac!
I don't do the corporate taxes either and don't ya just hate those monthly payroll taxes?
Monthly isn't so bad. For my dad, I have to do them weekly, along with state (CA) and God forbid if you're late. I also have to do Sales Tax (CA).
If you're not taking advantage of EFTPS, TWC, and I highly recommend it. Also to file the 941 and 940, I use a software company that only charges $25/year. Well worth it and less mistakes (especially the 940, I can never remember how to do it and then they had the nerve to change it last year
i never understood why a wife would get an allowance. i thought when you become married, you put all your together and you go from there.
dude, you don't own her cuz you give her 2K. actually that makes you stupid for doing that. what is she getting a salary from your company or something? that to me is totally being a tool.
dude, she is your wife and if she feels that she is having a bad day and your ass can't help vacuum, then so be it. maybe you should take her up on it and help her. ... she has needs to and 2k doesn't fill any psychosocial needs that she may have.
again, i don't get the separate accounts, the splitting of the bills and all that other couples do nowadays.
you put that in one pot, you pay the bills both of you make... yes BOTH... you save together, you spend together.....
you better wake up or she may get half of that instead of 2k.
How about separate computers? I bet you believe in that now.
I love my wife!!! I may not always like her but I never stop loving her. Good luck.
^RACK "IM!!!
I concur.
That makes it clear that she's a shopoholic, for whatever reason. Keeping separate accounts, etc., seems like a necessary idea in that case to make things work.
In any case, why not hire a maid? On her $2K plus salary beyond bills, she certainly has enough to do that. Maybe you can go 50-50 on it.
I haven't read all these posts but the best thing is to come home with nervous breakdown about work and life in general. Have a hissy fit or the at any moment and then have a lets work life and finances out better of your relationship and future kind of talk.
Between my wife and I,we make over $150K a year. Our little 11 month baby's budget is around $1250 a month.
Seven years ago when we got married we were making around $60k and we have always managed our money separate.
My wife always nags about cleanliness and I will admit I'm not the most organized person out there but women over do the cleanliness thing.
I live in Brownsville Tx believe me cheap labor is accross the border but hiring anyone
from Mexico is out of the question.

I do use EFTPS, I just hate paying it.
NO!
btw, any lady that doesn't have kids and wants to lunch is welcome also.
You dudes can plan your own back to school lunch.
I have kids that arn;t in school - but they can stay with thier Dad if the lunch date is during his night shift.
wives are overrated...of course i dont have one...
I thought it was called a lunch date lunch>night shift
Not everyone does it that way, but thats the way I did it. When she was a stay at home mom I valued her contributions and wanted her to feel like she had her own money. I did not want her to feel that she had to ask me for money if she wanted something special for herself.
I don't think I "own" her and no, she does not get a salary from my company. I direct deposit 1K on the first and the 15th to her personal account. BTW, I don't consider myself to be stupid and could give a what YOU think.
LOL...Sequ, you are such a tool. I just didn't want to take off work to clean the house. It ended up that she didn't either. I got home first and hit it hard and knocked it out. She called to see where we were going to meet my daughter and her boyfriend for dinner while I was right in the middle of cleaning and I just had them bring me something home. I was done when they got there, so you runt. Go tell your wife to make you a pie you grumpy little prick.
And if she choses to she could get 1/2 no matter what I do. I realized a long time ago that you can't MAKE someone be happy. You can give them all the reasons in the world to be satisfied and happy, but at the end of the day happiness and contentment come from within and not from others.
My faith in “manly men” has been shattered...Cosmic Cowboy's wife told him to "get home and clean the house" and he actually did it....
I bet he even baked her a pie!
You guys are harsh. I also wash dishes most of the time. My ego is not threatened...
And now she's getting 3K a month . . .

okay, let me offer a longer explanation:
he works 2 weeks day shift, 2 weeks night shift.
If the lunch date is on a day when he is working night shift then he will be home and awake to watch the children while I skip happily along to a lunch date.
OOOOh, I see said the blind man
Do you know when he will be working the day shift? I was looking at mid-September or so

I can't wait! My daughter caught me making lunch plans for next week and she said, "how many lunches are you planning?" That was my 3rd!
There is the problem. She is not happy and spends money like crazy trying to make herself happy. How old is she CC?And if she choses to she could get 1/2 no matter what I do. I realized a long time ago that you can't MAKE someone be happy. You can give them all the reasons in the world to be satisfied and happy, but at the end of the day happiness and contentment come from within and not from others.
I feel sorry for you man. I hope one day you get your balls back from your wife. I wish you the best.
he's doing nights from Sept 3rd to the 14th.
That works perfectly then!he's doing nights from Sept 3rd to the 14th.
