Nope. She never mentions it when she's at mine. HTH.

How many of you male or female have got partners who work? Kids or not?

My mrs works part-time at the mo because we've got kids. Fair enough. Her income is small compared to my contracting income but still it all helps.

Her latest "plan" - when the kids are older I think I'll stay part time. I could do with time to myself after looking after the kids. FFS - as if I love travelling miles to work/staying away all week - I'll just go to work and you spend it darling!!!!

Anyone else get this?

If you are that hard up I will start to tip her more, her prices are low to start off with so don't mind bunging her a couple of quid more, I am sure as its charity I can claim it back on my SA

Does it do your chunk in?

Any money I earn is for the benefit of my immediate family. Since I have plenty to spend on myself, I see no reason to resent supporting them.

No kids, we both work, but at the point that we have paid the mortgage off I am happy for Mr BGG to go part time: even unpaid voluntary part time (just to get him out of the house a couple of time a week.)

Mr L is full time with long commute. I can earn the same as him with just 6 months contracting :-)

No kids, one dog. No pension worth talking about.
Wife works 4 days a week (quite a stressful job).

Current plans:
1. Pay off mortgage
2. Start saving for old age
3. Reduce the amount of work we both do (I'd be happy with working from home)
