[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I reading this right: you don't actually have child care. You pay a little to drop your kid off at a "playgroup" without you there, and then you work during playgroup time.

Realizing that this is a terrible and unstable child care plan, you want to pay for a real child care situation, specifically 2 day a week preschool, so that you can work during the hours that your child is in a reliable child care situation. But, the cost of this childcare is more than you are making during the hours the child is in care, but your DH won't cover the difference.

Does that restate the primary issue correctly?[/quote]

Yes that's correct[/quote]
Wait a minute- how is this correct? If you make 95K you are making far more than the cost of $1200/mo childcare. What??[/quote]

She doesn’t want to pay for childcare solely out of her salary as if she’s a single mom and her husband has zero responsibility towards their child. Her husband doesn’t want to contribute to childcare expenses at all.

I hate to say this, but OP, you would be way better off divorced. Living with someone like your DH is only going to get worse. You will never be able to spend any money and you will get very resentful. Leave. There are lots of men out there who aren’t like this.
