Husband Hides Money

Dear Dr. Roberta,
My husband hides money from me and we are very low on money. I stay home with our babies and he is the breadwinner. Sometimes I have no money for diapers. He has money for beers with his friends. What should I do?

Dear Hurt,

Threaten to ask his boss to send his paycheck directly to you, or you can insist that your husband make a budget and stick to it. Make a list of every expense necessary for running your household and with your husband figure out how to pay for each item. He seems immature so ask his parents to help you manage him.
