Weekly shopping/bills

What is the average amount a man should give his wife for housekeeping if she is the homemaker and caring for 3 teenage children and his take-home earnings are £500-£1000 per week?

Answer #1

he makes a lot of money… wow… Well I know the conversion from dollars to pounds is somewhere around 2$ = 1L… but I really don’t know what prices are there and such. I mean is something that’s 3$ here also 3 pounds there, or is it 1.5 pounds?

But anyway.. the husband should give the wife whatever she needs to take care of the kids. The way my family does it is my dad will give my mom his whole paycheck.. my mom will pay all the bills.. the house bill, water, gas etc. and then she will go out and buy Groceries for the week. (3 teenage girls in my fmaily, and we spend about 200$ a week in groceries.) then whatever is left over, they put in savings.

Answer #2

Gotta tell ya…not A job I would want or have!!I’m 33 and never had children…for a good reason. As a nurse, waiting on people for 8 hours a day, I make 25.50 an hour(USA)…give her everything she needs, and a little of what she wants, and you’ll both be happy…:)
