Wife have money problem

Hello,

I know this is ladies forums, but I guess you can help me understand girls view.

Got married year and half back. Stayed 1 yr away because of immigration and now living together since last 6 months. I and my wife both are having professional job and earning decent in US. But my wife refuse to pay for anything. When she was in India and having professional job there too, she did not spend on anything. I had to send all her expenses. I thought she is new in the house, new to environment so let her do what she wants. She will understand as time goes by. Now she is in US for 6 months and earning fine she still wants I should pay for everything and pay for her expenses/shopping as I am the husband. She does not spend a penny from her pay. Whenever I say anything about money, she asks I should ask from my parents as inheritance as they come and stay with me for a 8-10 months and stay with my brother in India for 8-10 months. My parents earn very little here. She wants that my parents should share expenses. When she started her job here, she had a big fight to have a separate account. I don't wish/intend that she gives all her money, but she is not ready for anything. Last week we had big fight where I said pay 25% of your pay and keep 75% for yourself, but she did not agree. She wants to go for vacations, have a flat in India, go out every weekend, but I should pay for all.

I was ready that if she pays 25% of her pay, I will take care of everything as it is right now and as she is expecting.

Is it fine/normal to expect that wife should pay for SOME things when she is earning? In this situation, is my wife point correct that I should take money from my parents and not her? At this age, I should be taking care of my parents and not asking money from them. I am ready to take care of my in-laws too. I give them same respect as mine. I buy all the gifts for them and I don't keep any partiality with them. Since she does not share financial responsibilities, I stopped helping her in cooking/cleaning after big fight. She intends to have a maid if we are in India as that is for her convenience and she will pay for it. But not pay for anything else.

Just looking for some logical answer to this.
