Money

My maternity pay has just gone down and I’m now relying on my fiancé to help with money and this is the first time since I have turned 18/19 that I’m not just relying on my own money and I’m struggling to accept it I don’t want to go back to work yet my lo is only 5 months and is being bf but I’m going to feel bad relying on him to pay bills or feeling like I have to ask him if I want a treat it just feels weird

Exactly my situation 😔 my lo is 5 months too. I’m planning on going back to work when he clock 6months.

Just because you're not contributing financially as much as him, doesn't mean you're not contributing to the household! You're raising his kid! My husband and I each get the same "spending" money sum and we spend it on what we like as we see it fair. I spend mine on piano lessons and he spends his on more treats 🤣x

I get you i hate taking money of my bd but at the end were in this together which mean time and money youll be cheaper than nursery fees

I haven’t even delivered yet (only 18 weeks) and I stopped working because I was feeling sick all the time (migraines). My husband has been totally supportive and I’m not planning on going back to work after the baby. We used to split the bills but now we don’t and he doesn’t care. I don’t “treat myself” too often because I’m conscious of the situation, but I also acknowledge that he buys things for himself and doesn’t ask me, so we are clear on that. You’re doing your part right now. Don’t rush back to work. Your baby will appreciate the time with you and you with him/her ❤️

I don’t get it. You are off work because of the baby you both created so to me it only makes sense that you both provide financially for the time you are out of work taking care of the baby.

I got the last pay wrong so i fell behind on everything, so i quickly got a job, only 2 hours 6-8pm cleaning a nursery, i stay at home with my boy all day then his dad, or nanny or auntie have him if his dad is running late x
