To think asking for a few hours childcare a week

Is not unreasonable?

I am/was a full time SAHM. I asked my partner for a few hours childcare a week so I could catch up on housework undisturbed/have a little bit of me time? I have two children at home.

My request resulted in a huge argument that caused our relationship breakdown.

His argument was that 'we' couldn't afford it - since the breakdown he has spent thousands of pounds in court trying to achieve full residency of our youngest.

AIBU to think this a completely insane situation?

Rights of women

I don't really know why he is spending thousands on it - perhaps he just needs to be right?

He claims it's because I'm a bad parent in various ways but has nothing to support these claims except his own perceptions.
