And he wouldnt get no cornbread either!!! I'd send it ALL to you, Deerman...

OHHHH NO!!!!!!!!!
NO MAN would EVER get away with that around me... (I have anger issues too...LOL...Guess it is a Redhead thing

)

If they are going to go waste money on something that you can buy 10 TIMES cheaper..I would go buy him the system...then take the money that he was WASTING and get my dang chickens !!!
And if he has a problem with that...Then His A** will meet my FOOT...and he better hope that the door doesn't hit him where the Good Lord Split Him !!!!

Best Wishes,
Laura

LOVE IT!!

Amen! Heck, buying just about anything on credit is the road to ruin. We don't have credit cards. We don't owe for our home, our vehicles or any of the things in the home. When I needed a new car (my little sports car I had pre-marriage didn't agree with our farm road) I only financed for two years and put up with high payments to get it paid off faster. Hubby saved for 15 years to afford a harley. When his mom bought him one as an early retirement gift, he didn't go out and spend his savings. It's still sitting in the bank, drawing interest.

We want something - like the new TV and surround sound system we just bought, we practice patience and frugality until we can afford to buy it. There are alot of things I still want - like a horse - but I like having ZERO debt better.

To the OP - if I were you, I wouldn't make it a competition, no tit for tat. If you want some more chickens and can find a way to afford them on your own, go for it.

I agree! We do not have CC, the only thing we "owe" is our mortgage, we financed for 25 years, and have paid on it for 10 so far. We also have that payment deducted automatically from hubbys military retirement. It is much cheaper to repair the older vehicles than pay a huge payment. If we had not lived this way, we could not have survived the last 2 1/2 years of me being unemployed or gotten through my hubby being out of work 2 months after his heart attack.

Tell hubby that 8 week old chicks can potentially bring in sickness to your flock. The only way to go is with day old chicks. (He doesn't need to know any different...)

I'm currently having a standoff with my hubby about a very cute little puppy that made its home here. My thoughts are: I'm here more than he is. I make money too (It was a free puppy anyway) The kids need a great little dog... Need I say more?

You guys need a budget that allows for money to blow, an EQUAL ammount for both of you, and strict guidelines as to what counts. The chickens provide food, so only a portion of the feed bill should be counted as your mad money. You just have to get it on paper and negotiate for equality in the financial department of the marriage. No "yours" and "mine," no if you do X I'll just go and do X then...that just fans the fire. You need to resolve once and for all the financial situation before it gets out of hand. I see trouble down the road if you don't. Money is the number one cause of divorce. If you love that man, even in all his stupidity

give him an out, and take one for yourself while your at it. It's no fun to ALWAYS be an uber responsible adult! Everybody has faults, just manage them

I'm sorry your having a hard time... marriage is hard! I'm married to very controlling one myself... sometimes it works for me to say 'I'm going to do this or go somewhere' in stead of asking. Your his equal. Also he has seen how my chickens pay for themselves and now he's building me my 3rd coop. So a little give and take works for us. And remember its all in the attitude to on how you put things to him. At least it is for me. My marriage is a HUGE work in progress!
