I gave my husband a huge hunk of money to cash and he put it in his work account. Now, we have all these returned check fees. I am unable to clearly think. I am a stay at home mom, and I was really excited to make that kind of money. I trusted that it would be okay. Then, he lost a $285 check I made from daycare and didn't tell me about it until later. SO, I wrote a slew of bad checks because of both incidents.

Over 20 bad checks have been written.

What's done is done. Sounds like time for you to take over the finances - and with the mess he's made of it, he shouldn't argue.
If this type of thing hasn't ever happened before, he's handled the finances well in the past, but suddenly things have changed, something is very wrong and you need to find out what. You might have a bigger problem here that the bounced checks.
Good luck.

You probably need to start making your own deposits and checking the statements more carefully. You are a work at home mom but that doesn't mean you cannot run these errands yourself and reconcile your bank statement, he must be having financial problems at work if he put personal money in a work account. You need to sit with him and go over all financial matters.

There's a serious problem here. Have a talk with him about it and find out what's going on. If he's evasive or doesn't seem to understand why you're upset, open your own account where he doesn't have access. If he's paying bills, give him your part and let him deal with it. If you have online access, you can also monitor the joint account on a regular basis and keep on top of it as these issues happen.

Here's a suggestion that works well in marriage: Get seperate banking accounts especially now that you have money coming in. Then get one joint account in which household bills get paid.
All you can do is call the bank and see if they'll drop some of the charges, which they will if you don't have a history of it.

Your husband can't be trusted with money. I suspect it is not in his work account either. Take over the finances before he ruins you. If he won't let you, go to counseling or leave him - or both.
