I don't see this as your husband being a control freak I see this as him saying he wants more traditional gender roles in the house which I feel every man has a right to demand that. Women can work but I feel as a women we have a duty to our SO and kids to be the care taker first our work outside the home is secondary. Sorry if that is harsh just my belief.
That is not possible for the majority of people in this day and age and I dont think even my grandmother has this mindset.

- a man has a "right to demand" what? really? wow , just wow

I do agree as mentioned with there being a household acct and then each person have there own personal accounts for what they want or need or desire.. Kinda hell to have to ask your spouse for X money because you want to surprise them with a gift.
