buchan30 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 On the cooking, Before i left home I wasn’t very active in the kitchen, would make myself the basics like toast etc, but never really learned to cook or bake my own stuff. Since moving in with the now wife, i have had to learn to cook/bake especially with having the boys and it turns out i am actually quite good at it. Not masterchef winning stuff, but i can make a lot of stuff from scratch that I couldn’t before i left home. Looking back i maybe should have helped my mum cook more. I use to help peal the carrots for soup, but that was it. My eldest wants to help when cooking now as well, which i suppose is a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobeylarone Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 My wife is a stay at home mum, everything goes into the joint account, money for bills are put into the billing account and money moved to savings, she manages our money, I don't have to ask for money, I know our outgoings but before any large purchases or nights out etc I would always let her know, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathematics Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 She pays the mortgage, I pay the other bills. No joint account, no sharing of cash (she earns way more than me, so she wouldn't be having that). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz FFC Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Reading through the last few pages has made me realise modern men are far worse than I realised. What a bunch of fluffy bitches some of you are. Do you need to submit a written request 24 hours in advance bef9re you can spend some of your wages on something or are you just allocated an allowance like when you were 13? It saddens me how pathetic some people really are. Probably apply the lube before they take 1. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're planning knocking out 5 course cordon bleu dinners every night, cooking is relatively simple, in my experience.

Hopelessly wrong. Actually, I don't think I've watched a cookery programme in my life - unless it was Nigella Lawson, and that wasn't for any cooking tips. (Other tips, perhaps.)

Is it not all the auld c***s that are talking about having never even opened one of their own pay packets here? As far as I can see the young, modern men in this thread have a perfectly good grip on their finances. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I have eventually persuaded mrs olite that driving about in 2nd gear uses too much petrol. She has graduated to third now. (she has never been in 5th in our current car that we've had 4 years and didn't even know it had a 6th) I have also eventually convinced her that the condensation and mildew issue in our bedroom was not unrelated to her locating the clothes horse in there. it is now in the kitchen. This has taken 5 years of clear evidence of cause and effect. There is always hope. don't give up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it she only drives very short distances, and at mainly residential roads if she was plodding along in 2nd the whole time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
