Mom Confessions
So with my bonus at work this year...I'm driving my kids to Disneyland.. I was worried about driving alone... my boyfriend asked me why he wasn't going. Well..he can if he comes up with about $800. Problem is..he doesn't have a good job and that could be alot for him. So we get in a fight..he thinks since we live together...it's our money and it should go to all of us going on this trip. Well..he's not my kids dad...and its not out money. I make significantly more than him..he makes enough to pay for his 1/4 off the household bills and that's it. I was here before I met him...so I don't depend on his money..and I don't feel like my work bonus should be spent on him. He's hurt and I feel bad...but if he doesn't pay...we're going alone. An I completely wrong??

No, you're not doing anything wrong. -
It's your money but I do think he should dump you.

If the tables were turned, would you be ok with it?

If and until you are married, it's your money not joint money. You have the right to do with it what you want.

Why do you have a man living with you and your children that you aren't committed to? IF you were truly committed it wouldn't be a "money" issue, it would be a spending time together issue. It sounds like you resent him for his financial situation and therefore your respect for him has suffered.

Well if he wants to he can...I guess.

I don't think there's a wrong or a right here...it's your decision, and the consequences will also be yours.

Yes...I would never let someone pay my way unless it was my kids dad.
