[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just put the child into daycare and tell him the new amount he has to pay.  He wants to split everything 50/50 so that includes childcare.

My take is that he wants to put money into retirement so he doesn't end up like his parents.  He still has to give his parents money as they didn't plan.

If you want to do finances 50/50 something for him will have to give either his retirement income, money for his parents or spending money.

I get the feeling it's OP that wants separate finances and not her husband, I could be wrong.[/quote]

I basically agree but might be inclined to look at a few preschools and cost compare (with him if you can) so maybe he will feel more invested. If he doesn’t- well- you tried. Given how separate your finances are, Id let him know upfront that you are signing her up and will give him the bill and expect half. And make sure he knows you mean it. If he needs him to cut his budget to cough up preschool $ every month that is not your problem. Something else will have to go.

If he doesn’t like it I’d threaten to drop DD off with HIM at HIS job for 15hrs of his week and see how that goes. Fair is fair, after all! Funny how ridiculous that sounds when you flip things around, eh?

Good luck op![/quote]
