Hi.
My partner and I live together with our baby DD. He earns 28,000 a year and I earn 8000 a year as I only work very part time.
Out of my 650ish a month my outgoing bills are around 150, I also pay anything for our daughter such as clothes, little bits she needs through the month, baby groups etc and we split milk and nappies.
He is asking me to give him £250 a month to contribute, which I feel is a little steep for me as I would only be left with £200, giving me very little to put into savings etc.
I have offered £150, which would cover our food shopping however I have also suggested that he could cover all bills and then also my outgoings, and my 650 would be our 'play money' for the month, e.g clothes, days out, birthday presents etc meaning that we would also be able to save more as I would have money left and so would he.
Just wanting some opinions here as to what people think is the best option for us!
