    My dad earned the money, my mom spent it. That worked for them, there were no complaints.

    OTH, they were born during the Great Depression, and were both very frugal. Neither of them liked to spend money. As the fourth of four kids, most of my clothes and toys were hand-me-downs, and my mom made my clothes until I hit puberty, as well as making most of her own clothes her whole life. I don’t have any complaints either. Both of my parents loved their kids unconditionally, I grew up in a warm, and mostly happy family.
