I’m a full-time mother and my husband has no idea I keep the $250 he gives me to pay for a cleaner every month
A stay-at-home mom has revealed how she secretly collects money from her husband every month – with some calling the ruse a “genius.”
Brianna, a US-based TikTok creator known as @themamabrianna on the platform, revealed the trick in a clamp she shared with her 26,400 followers.
And it prompted some social media users to brand the video, which has been viewed a whopping 7.6 million times to date, to comment on how important the information could be.
While Brianna presented the information in a tongue-in-cheek manner, the video also had a more serious angle – that some people need to create a secret stash of money in case they need to escape abusive relationships.
Her video was titled “Does anyone have an expensive hobby recommendation?”, but she also shared helpful information for those in dangerous relationships who may need help.

The clip features footage of herself cleaning the house, with words on screen.
The words read, “On the first of every month, $250 comes out of my husband’s bank account.
‘It’s for our cleaning lady. The house is thoroughly cleaned the first time every month.
“I asked for a cleaner years ago, when I was pregnant and throwing up 10 times a day while also taking care of our one-year-old.
“At the time, my husband said it didn’t fit into our budget.”
As the footage of Brianna continues, the words on the screen read, “But a few months ago he asked if I still wanted a permanent cleaner. Of course I said yes.
“I told him I’d take care of it all and I just needed $250 cash a month to pay her.”
However, she admits that all is not as it seems. The video continues, “So he gets $250 cash every month for me to pay the cleaning lady.”

But, admits Brianna, “What he doesn’t know is that I’m the one who does the deep cleaning of the house every 1st of the month. I just put the money in my pocket.
“I think I’m going to use that money to find a new expensive hobby. My husband doesn’t seem to mind.’
The video ended with a serious message on screen, for those who may be struggling in their relationships.
It says, “If you feel the need to hide money from your partner to plan your escape, check the source in bio.”
The source she references in her biography is a link to The Hotline. This is a domestic violence support network that provides 24/7 resources and support to people trying to escape abuse.
