I question whether it’s even true or not, or if her friend is trying to justify something. The “vacation” justification sounds sketchy.

We also have a joint account.
I’ve just always viewed it as my wife and I are on the same team working towards a common goal. All earnings go into one shared pot.

Sorry to hear that.
As I get older I realize how lucky I was as a child.

It's crazy to me but know a family like that.

if his wife had spending problems I could understand not wanting to give her unfettered access to his money.. IDK why he'd be married to somebody he couldn't trust, though. Seems like that would be miserable. He might just be a chode, though.
Sounds like she has it made.

He’s not a great father and a worse husband.

This. My wife talked about staying home, but then when the reality of 5 days per week of watching 2 kids solo made the daycare call easier for her.

Split bank accounts are just begging to have problems. How do you split the bills? Is it fair? How does spending money on oneself work? Is it fair? Who has to save for retirement and how much? Is it fair? Do you retire at the same time? Is it fair? And the list goes on. You could potentially work all this shite out and hope nothing changes how one person feels about it. Or you could be all in on your marriage and do everything together, including your bank account

I always wondered about this. What happens if one spouse saves for retirement and the other doesn’t? Or, if one spouse couldn’t work for a health related issue.
I think a better way to tackle the man crux of the issue is to have a joint account, and then have two “personal spending” accounts that you transfer an equal amount into each month. That’s how we used to operate before we had kids. Now, it’s just all in one account.

I have a family member whose wife decided she wanted to stay home to spend more time with their child. Then immediately put the child in daycare,. And he’s OK with it. They are broke as hell and she continues to spend, but he’s so pussy whooped that he won’t say a damn thing about it. All he says is as long as she’s happy, that’s all that matters. She controls the TV show shows, what they eat, where they go, how long they stay there. He has to ask permission to do anything. It’s ridiculous and a fricking embarrassment.

Why do we always naturally assume all women are good mothers and children would benefit from being with them all the time?
One of most important gifts to the children and the Mom is nature’s bond…that society today seems to discount.
To your point, though, if a person is a bad Mom, perhaps they should stay with pets to begin with.
