Hi. I was just wondering other people's oppinions on their husbands paying half of childcare. I tried to search the Internet but can't find anyone in the same situation or any info on the situation. So anyway, I make about $14 an hour and my daughters dad (we are together but not married) he makes about $26 an hour. I recently quit my job because we were both working 12 hours days and I was only making minimum wage and it was to much for our daughter. So anyway now I make 14 an hour workin casual in daycare. We make over the threshold to get any kind of subsidy. Her dad says that he won't pay for ANY of of the childcare cost which is about $500 a month. I asked him why and he said he isn't going to pay for me to go to work. But on the other hand he wants me to have a job. Am I being unreasonable asking him to pay for some? He is tight with money anyway when it comes to me but since we are both working I don't see why I'm the only one paying for it. Am I wrong to think he should?
