[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I make 95k working part time and he makes 105k working full time. I could work full time but it would be hard to make more than what I do now, in a full time position. It's also not that easy for me to add to my client roster (it's complicated). Anyway, I get that he is contributing to our future retirement but my resentment stems that a slight difference for just a couple more years - 2 max - is coming at the cost of my mental health. I hold my breath trying to get all my work done in 2-3 hrs and I'm over it. Plus sometimes uber-cheap playgroup is canceled without warning which makes it impossible for me to work at all. I'm tired of this arrangement but our only way out is to pay significantly more (and not even that much - $1200/mo total) for part time daycare. [/quote]

Get an au pair or pay for preschool.  You make enough to do that for two years like everyone else who works full time.  [b]Tell your husband you will pay for it and just do it. [/b] Since you already split your finances, you don't need to get his permission.[/quote]

Hell no! Do not do this!

You really think it’s okay for a man making 6 figures to pay NOTHING towards his child’s daycare/preschool expenses?!?

OP, you would be better off divorced. Child support and daycare expenses are usually destructed straight out of a paycheck. It really helps with deadbeat dads who don’t think they have to support their children. The only difference is that you’re married to a deadbeat who doesn’t want to support his kid. What a loser! I’m angry just reading this! I can’t imagine what you’re going through. [/quote]
