To tell DP that he owes me a year and a half childcare in lieu?

[monkeytrousers]

He absolutely shit himself!

This after much arguing about how I haven\t contributed anything to the household since DS was born 2.5. years ago. The year and a half doesn?t include the time we would have spent with him anyway, just the time he needed me to be there so he could pursue his projects at work.

oh god yes

tot it up

18 quid for half a day's nursery

so I am being unreasonable?

dont forget the 40 weeks you were pregnant as well! lol

We are splitting up BTW and he still expects me to forsake my own career for his when it comes to childcare.

I worked until I was 38 weeks! He conveniently forgets that!

sorry monkeytrousers. i didnt realise. Im really sorry.

I'd say you are not being unreasonable

I'd say he was an arse

Sorry, that was to Cappucsino, when you say "oh god yes" - you mean yes I'm being unreasonable or yes, count it up??

X posts there Cappu

make sure its a big bill!! I would!

No worries Angel - no need to apologise he is an arse

MT she means yes count it up!!!!!!!!! he is being unreasonable!

He said I was talking crazy, can you believe it?!

You could be generous and just chrge him 50% as if you had returned to work you could have contributed 50% too???????

from what i have read of your other posts your dp is an intelectual man. what is his resonse when you ask him who would have looked after the children and house management responsabilities?

i dont understandhow he doesn't understand iyswim?

Neither do I Custy. LOL at him being intelectual. I don't know why I'm laughing exactly. He's just plain bonkers at the minute. Too much Tramadol!

I read recently about a lady who actually had a legal contract made for her husband to owe her money for every year she was out of work should they split up.

I agree 100%… how would they manage childcare if we didn’t stay at home while they progressed their careers???
