My husband pays me ‘woman tax’ it covers my nails & the bills – I strongly advise every wife to put in a claim
She explained that it "feels like justice"
A WIFE has revealed how her husband pays her ‘woman tax’ which covers her nails and all the bills.
Camilla is now urging other women in relationships to do the same and to ‘make a claim’.
The mum-of-two explained on her TikTok page that her husband will pay her this fee every two weeks.
She said: “My husband came up with the idea of ‘woman tax,’ which he pays me every two weeks, and some of you were a little confused about why.
“So please allow me to break it down for you.
“Now since I met this man over 10 years ago, his body has remained pretty much the same.”
She explained that the idea came from experiencing painful menstrual cycles, while looking after children, and also experiencing sickness during her pregnancies.
Camilla continued: “I’ve had to smile, work, and look after children while experiencing painful periods. I’ve been sick every day during my pregnancies.
“My body has endured two C-sections, breastfeeding, mastitis, oh don’t forget smear tests. The list goes on for miles, but I’m not going to bore you with it.
“Put bluntly, I have gone through so much simply because I am a woman, while my husband has remained exactly the same.
“That, my friends, is not fair. And my husband is man enough to recognise that it’s not fair.”
This means her husband compensates for it.
She says: “I receive a payment every two weeks to cover the cost of my nails and toes.
“But it doesn’t end there, he also covers all of the household bills, my car, my petrol, you name it. You know what girls, that feels like justice.
“If your husband or partner is currently not paying woman tax, I strongly advise you to get a backdated payment, put in a little claim.
“Trust me when I say when that period comes around you are going to feel so much better.
“Anyway girls, I hope that helps, go and get your bag.”
Many people rushed to the comments section of her video to share their thoughts, and there was a mixed reaction.
One wrote: “Annoyingly, I’m far too independent to not be patronised by this. You seem like a lovely couple and if it works for you that’s fab!”
A second commented: “I think having a really good and supportive husband must be a rare thing!”
Whilst a third added: “My partner said it wouldn’t work for us, as I already have full access to his bank.”
And someone else said: “My husband does the exact same thing.”
