Childcare can be a contentious issue. So, it’s no surprise that Reddit’s famous ‘Am I The Asshole’thread has numerous parenting disputes amongst its posts. In a thread written this week, one 25-year-old woman wanted to know whether she was in the wrong for refusing to split childcare costs with her 30-year-old boyfriend after he made a seven-figure fortune from his IT startup.
‘We recently had our son and I’m currently on maternity leave and intend to go back to work after it’ the original posterexplained. ‘We had initially planned to send our son to day care but after hearing about my bf’s plansI suggested we could save the money and not do so since my bf is going to stay at home anyway,’ she said.
When the OP said this to her partner, he pointed out that they’d agreed to split their finances equally and that, in refusing to pay half of the day care costs, his girlfriend was going against her word. However, splitting your ‘finances equally’ doesn’t always meanand it’s clear in this instance that the couple aren’t starting off from a level playing field.
Many couples opt for this form of balancing the books with rent, bills, and expenses while living together even before they’re married as paying ‘equally’ never really means splitting costs in half—and that is clearly the case here.
