“First of all, not all families follow the man-breadwinner woman-homemaker model. It used to be that more yeshivish families were MORE likely to use this model, and now, as more men are being encouraged to learn full-time, even yeshivish women are taking on responsibilities of parnassah. Therefore, the clothing may in many situations be funded by the woman’s work, not the man’s.”
1: What I was referring to was “Dad, can I use your credit card to buy a new whatever”, as a parent in that situation he should say as long as it conforms to this families standards of tznius, if not, it is going back. The mother of the family has a right to the same. I am not getting into family dynamics where one spouse uses his or her position as the breadwinner to withold purchases from the other. Tznius is the least of this couples problems.
