    Understanding, communication is so important because it makes everything planned work out.. I like the part of having a plan after budgeting.
    It’s good you guys found a way around childcare..
    I think when the kids finally start school one can get a full time job. This little age, they are so fragile and it’s great you guys have a good understanding raising and caring for them..

    Another thing I have learnt over the years is that I don't need to buy an item that I don't have immediate need for cos it is on sale..I used to do this a lot,and then it occurred to me that I actually think I am saving, but looking at it closely, I might end up not using that item , and then that money just got wasted

    Transparency in everything works for my husband and I.

    I love what your husband said, "if you don't have any plan for your money, you'll waist it"

    Budget that is a key word most of us shy away from. Transparency is the second keyword. Childcare works best if couples work opposite each other or mum works when hubby is off and when kids are in school.

    My husband and I are transparent with everything including our finance, after-all the bible says and they both were naked. In fact when we both want to send money to our families, we seek each others permission. We have our collective personal savings account which i manage and our separate accounts, all these we started as soon as we got married.

    True, you need to be rigid in your budgets to avoid over spending. I don’t agree with a wife or husband keeping some of their money secret. Like your husband said, it is not as if you won’t have your personal financial life but being transparent is still better!

    If you are in UK the best is to have exchange with your partner, but to leave the child with other kids its dangerous as if you are not careful the kid can be abused and especially if the kid can not talk, l have three kids, and l have never leave with any person apart from their Dad.
