传统家庭中女性负责内务,而传统家庭作为一个经济体,家庭财务也属于内务的一部分交由妻子管理。同时职业女性前时代,女性更多作为家庭主妇没有收入,需要丈夫交给他的钱来维持家庭运作。
事实上并不只有你国有这样的传统,包括立本和西方国家很多地方现在或者曾经都是这样的。
在很多地方(比如你米),当法律结婚之后的收入在法律意义上是你们二者所共有的。所以其实从法律意义上没有“把钱上交”或者给谁。So there is no such thing as “husband giving his wife spending money”.She already has that money, every dollar that both own.,虽然事实层面上这二者差别很大。
My wife stays at home and does an amazing job raising kids ,managing schedules, I could go on forever here. Also she is a housewife.
I do not give my wife money just as she does not give me children. This implies that somehow these were owned entirely by the giver, and are given away, or some conceding of ownership took place.
It is our money, they are our kids. From the money that I earn I get $50/month, she does too. From what comes to our bank account we pay the bills and expenses of our home.
Every account has both of us on it. Every car is titled to both of us. Even the house has both our names on it. We have the same credit card account with one card issued to her and the other to me. We called up the CC company and ensured that her credit is affected the same as mine by the transactions on that account. This was done to ensure she builds credit history in case I die.
Over the years every big purchase over a couple hundred dollars has been a decision between the two of us unless it comes from our personal stash.
It was never mine to give her. And it's not hers or mine to take. As far as I know most of my intimate friends, family and aquantences use a similar method with varying degrees.
