Money handling... who does it in your household? The 'man' of the house or the 'woman' who turns the neck of the 'man' of the house??

I never really got to see who did it among my parents. I know for sure with my maternal grandparents, it was my grandpa! Tyrant.. For a good cause too! 10 kids! I've got 9 aunts and uncles with the youngest two within my "hangout" group. In fact my unc married my ex-classmate! Making her my 'aunt'? Eeeek! Still have problems calling her auntie today.. Am being 'Ang Moh' and just call her by name! Hehehe..

Back to the topic. Money handling in a family. Should it be shared both ways? Or ultimately one person to handle all the bills?

Should the 'man' be taking full responsibility to provide even though the 'woman' works? Should it be shared out equally, right down the centre? Or 'man' takes some and 'woman' takes some regardless of cost? Surprisingly even in a modern age as this, tons of people don't see and don't like the idea of sharing.. Man = provider. Woman, what you earn is yours! I've seen quite a number of couples where both parties are earning and the equation above applies.

How about just plain ol' dates? Who pays 'most' of the time. When the non-usual paying partner pays, how does the usual paying partner feel?

I for one love my Independence. Love the feeling of earning my own money and spending my own money. Knowing how hard it is to earn money, I feel quite uncomfortable 'taking' ck's money. I'll go about finding ways to 'make up' for it! After all these years, I still feel that way. Unless! there's a

then I can do

What's your money solution??
