My husband recently decided to hand over to me his entire paycheck every cut off and budget it for him. This includes utilities, groceries, his allowance, his parents' allowance, etc. For some reason, I am not comfortable with it. I do not like explaining why there is not much left, or where did some of it go. I am not sure I want to handle it. But I think this is his effort of making me feel more important. I dont know how to tell him that I am not ok with this new task. :(

Mama of a great big chunk of happiness!

Since this is the first time you have been given the responsibility, why not give your best shot? You might be really good at it, maybe even better than your hubby. Also, it will take a lot of burden of your husband's back. There are plenty of tools available online at your disposal that will help you plan finances so do not worry. If after couple of months, you do not get hang of it, talk to your hubby. I am sure he will understand.
