Concerns For Dad's New Partner, Splittin...

Nova Podcasts
About this episode

Concerns for your father’s new partner, whether your expenses should be split down the middle when one of you earns more money & how to carve out time for yourself.  

This week in the inbox: 

  • My parents recently separated & our dad recently told us that he is returning to the Philippines as he's met someone.  My sisters and I are worried that our Dad just looking for someone to now do all the housework & work for him that mum did. He is a grown man, should we just let him make his own decisions?  
  • My boyfriend and I have been together for a year. I make almost half of what he makes. However, he insists everything we purchase is split evenly. Is it problematic of me to want our purchases to be split based on our wages rather than down the middle and if not, how do I raise this with him without him dismissing it as unfair or inappropriate?   
  • I’m writing to you as a mother of a 2-year-old daughter, a wife of 4 years (partner for 11), a farmer (a career I passionately love) and an increasingly angry, frustrated, resentful yet empowered woman. How do I carve out more time for myself, to regain my autonomy and independence, as a woman in the world today, without blowing up our lives?
