[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I would not EXPECT him to however. [/quote] Why would you not expect him to? You seem to be assuming that the child is her responsibility and any lost time from work associated with the child is her problem, and that her spouse is not obligated to the child in the same way that OP is. [/quote] PP here. You are reading a whole lot into the issue just to make a point. We are NOT talking about any obligation to the child and it is misleading to portray it that way. My point is that I would NOT expect my husband to reimburse me for something that benefits my family without agreeing to it beforehand. Sure, I can phrase my request in such a way that reimbursing me DOES benefit the family. But my point is that this approach to marriage, IMO, does not have a positive result. And next month when OP's DH invoices her because he took off work to take her car in for service, what's the response then? [/quote]
