[quote=Anonymous]I find the “separate finances” thing very odd. Why is it setup this way, and are both of you ok with this?

You make almost as much as he does working only 3hrs/day? Is his career unusually low paying or is yours unusually high paying??

If you are working 15hrs/wk then I don’t see why two full days of childcare is unreasonable. What am I missing!? I presume you would get your work done in those two full days (for the most part)?

Seems to me the immediate issue is you want to switch to a proper daycare rather than this ragtag one. Which makes lots of sense to me. Is there one that is somewhere in the middle cost wise?

I don’t see how he can be ok with supporting his parents but not proper daycare for his child.

Again, perhaps I am missing something but you are basically: making a Ft wage in 2 days per week rather than five? And saving 3 full days/sk of childcare? And DH is complaining about this???!

If overall finances are an issue yes you should consider upping your hours. However it isn’t clear from your post if finances truly ARE an issue or if your DH is a bit cheap.
