being independent. are you dependent on other?

For me im vice versa, i be influence other and other influence me.Being dependent or independent, that's depend on the situation, financially im dependent to my husband because im a fulltime mom, every month my husband give my monthly allowance, it's a big war if he never give it to me lolz! Happy myloting!

I think people in my life are more dependent on me than I am on them. I take care of my hubby and keep an eye on my elderly dad. Our oldest daughter and her three kids live with us, and sometimes she depends on me to help with childcare, although she doesn't abuse the privilege. I also take care of three dogs. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I weren't here... I am dependent on my husband to bring the money home. I do have a small home business selling secondhand merchandise and do some writing, but it's not enough to support myself on. If I had to, though, I could get a regular job and take care of myself.

Physically I tend to be more independent. I am the care giver in my family, I take care of the needs of my children and spouse and help with my other family members as I can. Before having kids I was financially indenpent as well but since having them I quit my job to stay home with them. This has been really hard for me not making and contributing to the family income. I have been working and making my own way since I was 12 so it is difficult to not have an income coming in for me. I know that this is usually where men have an issue but I find it really hard to turn my financial life over to someone else after so many years. I fell guilty that I have no income and tend not to buy things for myself unless I have gotten money of my own from someplace such as gifts, or a yardsale or money I have made online.
