My husband doesn't help with anything and charges me for diapers for our baby: Advice?

Hey I’m not the type to really post questions here but I’m extremely confused on what I should do, I am a young mom who has been with the father of my kid since we were in middle school and got married a little before my child was born, during the pregnancy I did all the housework and cooking while my husband is at work… but now that my child is 9 months I started working and going to school during the day, my husband is on paternity leave, so he’s staying at home and doing one hour of school a day… and I get home around 7 every day… while my mom watches my kid all day, when we get back I bathe her and clean and cook but I’m tired sometimes and it kind of bothers me that my husband doesn’t take part of anything and when I mention it he calls me a bitch and tells me I’m crazy and shouldn’t complain since it’s my job if he ever has to watch or child he complains and tells me he’s tired too… Am I crazy or overreacting?! Also he will charge me for the babies diapers and everything I eat as well as anything that he considers “my spends” it kind of bothers me as well since I already pay most of the bills… I don’t know I just really don’t want to overreact pls help.

You’re not overreacting
He needs a reality check and quick. I would have been out the door the first time my childrens father charged me for anything…do you really want a grown child the rest of your life? Because that’s what he is…not too mention selfish and cruel. Leave and file for child supoort so his lazy ass has to actually get a job. Just reading this made me furious. I couldn’t imagine actually choosing to be with a person like this.

Your “husband” is a controlling piece of shit.

Take the kid. Go to your moms and get him for child support. This is not a healthy relationship.

Sounds like the idiot is fucking lazy and needs to be dumped. It’s called a “team” and if anyone should be charged for anything it should be him since he isn’t “working” so I’m just saying he’s a dick

You’re only crazy if you keep tolerating that mess.

I’m sorry what. So your mom watches the baby while he does to school for one hour a day and he’s tired to help out? Plus he charges you for the babies diapers.

Leave.

Absolutely not, pack his shit girl. Then charge him for diapers in the form of child support.

Those are some serious signs of abuse. Whatever you do, do it for your baby.

So… let’s say you couldn’t pay him for the diapers and food. Would you both just have to go without? Do you charge him for cleaning and cooking service? What he is doing is abusive. Please try to seek counseling.

Sounds like he’s a little bitch, who thinks watching his child is babysitting… UM no!!! Also bills should be split and who TF charges their spouse to change their child’s diaper?? I’d save $ get a divorce and put his on support. Know your worth and don’t ever let anyone put you down or take advantage of you.

You need to leave NOW.

Your husband is the crazy one, you are a team not master/slave. He really needs to change big time but I believe you already know this.

He’s just being lazy! Making you do what HE SHOULD BE DOING. Girl leave his sorry ass!

What the actual fuck… sorry but imo you guys are just roommates with a baby. If he is on leave then he needs to be the one watching your child. What is wrong with him? Its a team effort. Girl you need to leave. Record and keep track of everything. You are already doing it anyhow. File for custody and child support. Dude needs to grow tf up

Hee hee hee CAN FUCK HIM SELF!!! Dang!! Something IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL!!! Dumb ASS!! Sorry but WHAT part don’t you understand!; The End!

Does your husband have any responsibilities? Pay any bills? Sounds like he’s getting a free ride while you cook, clean and work AND pay most of the bills. So really, what is his job? What is his role in the household? Why is he charging you for the babies diapers? No offense but he sounds like an asshole. You sound like a responsible woman, don’t settle for that bullshit and abuse. Because what he’s saying to you and the way he’s treating you is called abuse.

I’m sorry, but that is NOT a marriage. Do what is best for you and your baby. Get out of this situation asap before it gets worse.

Get a back bone and stand up to him?

He charges you? The day after my husband and I got married we moved all of our money to a joint account. “His money” and “your money” isn’t a thing it’s both of yalls. He should be providing everything you guys need because he is the man of the house.

Financial abuse. You don’t ‘charge’ your partner for purchases, especially necessities like food and diapers. When you get married you commit to a future together. This is not acceptable.

The fact that he calls you a bitch and feels it necessary to keep tabs on everything he pays for. .trust me, !!! Get him gone! It will be harder later, you’ve " manned up" so now it’s his turn. No fight, no big confrontation, just poof bye b gone! Time flies, dont have regret, dont allow this because your kid will think it’s okay,

I’d go see a counselor. Since both of you are young and having a child is not easy and quite demanding. Maybe he isn’t seeing your side the way he needs to be or maybe he needs to grow up a little more. Your relationship is going to take work and understanding to make it. Good luck. Remember your child is the most important.

seems pretty cut and dry, if you’re doing everything, and he’s doing nothing, you’re better off without him. that’s not over reacting, it’s facing reality. Dump him and move along.

Kick him out, or leave. Divorce him. Take him to court for child support, and to get full custody of your children. Don’t look back.

I don’t normally say leave but damn!!
He’s abusing his paternity leave by doing diddly with his kids, home and has the damn Audacity to charge you for a damn thing and calls you names and degrades you.
That’s not a healthy relationship.
Get yourself into some councling wear you can learn to look for and see those Manipulative Narcissistic behaviors.
Those red flags and listen to your gut.
That’s not partnership Or teamwork!

OMG that’s not healthy. You are not over reacting you are in an abusive relationship. Quietly make an exit plan, see a lawyer, open your own bank account that he has no access to and get out.

Some of the stuff I read on here just flat out surprises me sometimes. I wouldn’t give him a damn dime!! That’s BOTH of ya’lls food & both of ya’lls baby!

Sounds like he’s not doing anything anyway. If you do it all continue to do it with out the negative that he brings. Cause it sounds like that’s all he’s bringing to the table. You can do better.

Get out while you can.

Dude sounds crazy. Since you’ve been together since middle school he probably just thinks he can treat you any way he wants like you’re locked down. Nope I’d take my baby and stay at my moms :woman_shrugging:t2:

Don’t stay with him just because he is the father of your child. Sounds like he is really taking advantage of you.

You need to ask yourself is that the kind of role model you want for your daughter. It sounds very unhealthy and like he doesnt care.

Ok … I’m not trying to be a complete B!$&# but he is a controlling asshole. Imo its mental and emotional abuse in how he is treating you period. A household is a 50/50 partner thing as is PARENTING. I hope yall get help ir you just leave .
