Unemployed Husband Suggest We Stop Buying Baby Formula To Save Money Instead Of Cancel Subscriptions
Published at : November 13, 2021
I'm (f32) the breadwinner and have a toddler and a 9-month-old baby. Their needs are never-ending and everything I buy is expensive.
My husband (m37) is unemployed but uses part of my salary for his subscription/paid streaming services, which cost about 80+ a month for Hulu (premium), Netflix, HBO, Amazon, ESPN+, and more. I keep finding myself coming up short with money. I kept neglecting buying hygiene products and have only one pair of shoes that look decent. I can't remember the last time I bought anything nice for myself, and keep feeling guilty just thinking of going shopping for stuff that is necessary.
I sat him down for a discussion and told him his subscriptions are taking money, and I can't keep paying for them when I have other responsibilities. I asked him to choose one channel, and he threw a fit, calling me ridiculous to think streaming services are the reason I'm always short on money, and blamed it on the "expensive" and "unnecessary" makeup. He calls it "fakeup" that I keep wasting money on. I got angry and said he needed to respect that makeup is part of my personality and won't quit buying and wearing it.
Final straw was when he suggested I stop buying formula and go back to breastfeeding since that is unnecessary and expensive.
Story 1:
AITA for lashing out at my husband for suggesting I stop buying formula instead of cancelling his streaming services to save money?
Story 2:
AITA for going off on my SIL after she insisted on taking my husband with her as her +1 to her friend's wedding?
Story 3:
AITA for not changing my baby's name?
Story 4:
AITA for refusing to wake up early to make my boyfriend’s kids’ breakfast?
