TOPIC OF THE WEEK NO.54// WHO CONTROLS THE HOUSEHOLD BUDGET??
Thanks to @slon21veka for this contest. I would like to invite my friends @nantaleesther, littlemissmukene and @kandegye to take part.
At home, it is mummy who manages the household budget.
Now ofcourse the finds are provided by daddy seeing as he is the head of the family. But that's just it. A woman I looked at as the hime maker and because of this, society expects her to be the one who knows whatever happens around the house that is; she knows how much is spent on food, the children's clothes etc.
The man of the house is mostly occupied of the big elephant in the room that is TO MAKE MONEY. And in most cases, when the woman of the house asks for a certain amount of money, it's best to just give it to her because she is the care taker of the home.
Daddy usual just asks her how much is needed and he gives her the money but the amount is determined by mummy.
Growing up, I have seen that it is the mother that controls the household budget, but perhaps it is different for every household.
