Is it okay for my husband to allot money for my mother in law monthly? He is an OFW and I am a stay at home mom with our baby. I don't get to see his payslips and remittance slips kaya di ko alam how much napupunta kay MIL. Is it wrong for me to feel unfair na til now nag-aabot pa din sya kay MIL? Affected kasi sobra ang budget namin. I cannot tell him to stop sending money to MIL coz it'll offend him of course.

We do allot monthly budget for both our parents - my parents and my inlaws. But my husband and I discussed it first. I record all our monthly expenses so that we both know how much do we need to allocate for our family first. Syempre priority namin ang needs ng family namin kasi eto na ang immediate family namin now. Then pinag-usapan namin ni husband how much ba ang kaya namin ibigay monthly na hindi masasacrifice yung needs ng family namin. So what you can do for now since sabi mo ay sobrang affected ang budget nyo, ilista mo lahat ng gastos ninyo. Detailed breakdown. Ultimong 5pesos na taho nakalista sa notebook ko. Then ipresent mo kay husband mo yung expenses ninyo. Para aware sya and para he can do something about it. Ilista mo din lahat ng utang nyo kahit yung hingi mo sa parents mo. Iba kasi kapag sinasabi mo lang na kapos ka, iba din if may listahan ka to show him talaga yung financial status ninyo.
