Today, I was arguing with my fiancée, having the same argument I had with my ex wife. “Why should I get off early for the kids?”, “Why can’t you do it?” Because I’d forfeit $200 per day. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, in the same conversation with the same person, I got chewed out because our kids want to spend more time with me than her, and also because the kids spend too much time with her and she can’t work from home effectively. Can anyone explain how that works? FML
Today, I tried convincing my husband to spend his day off work with me because we both work a lot, and have almost no time to spend together. His literal response was, “I’d rather pick a shift up at work.” FML
Today, my fiancé and I had a fight over household expenses. He's never had a job in his life, but this didn't stop him demanding that I get another full-time job to pay for video games and beer. FML
Today, my wife and I have been fighting for two days straight. We haven’t talked all day. It all started with me asking where to park. FML
Today, my husband and I have been fighting because I gave our son his college fund, even though he got a full-ride scholarship. My husband didn't think it was necessary and wanted to use it for other things. FML
Today, I got mad at my wife for giving her male coworker a ride home. I know nothing went on with them because I tracked her phone, I’m mad that he offered her a job in the business he’s starting, because she’ll be making a LOT more money than me. FML
Today, my wife screamed, cried, called me lazy and a bad parent, and threatened to leave and take our four kids. All I did was ask for an hour to myself every day for some private time. FML
Today, I had an argument with my husband. I’m a stay at home mom with a six, three, and one year-old. He insisted that we homeschool, so I literally never get a break. When I told him I need people to talk to, he replied, "Why? You talk to the kids all day!” God forbid I should interact with other adults. FML
Today, my wife has been grumpy all day, because she decided to get herself worked up over an argument we had and then peacefully settled three months ago. Like she suddenly gets to reopen the argument for no reason. I’m refusing to continue the argument on principle, hence her grumpiness. FML
Today, my wife and I have been fighting, and she's threatening divorce. Why? Because I don't want to have a second kid. We cannot afford another one. FML

You deserve it. Find a woman who wants to be a home wife. Get the details sorted out BEFORE you get engaged and have kids. Now, man up and take care of your kids!

Seems like you just need a more creative solution. Bus/friends/after school activities/carpool/work schedule change.

If you want to avoid your parental responsibilities, you can, nobody can actually force you to be responsible, but why the **** are you expecting people to find that reasonable just because you have a job? If you wanted to be the provider/breadwinner, your ex should have been someone that didn't want to have a job. There's plenty of women that don't want to work, it's risky...but plenty of women that would rather be at home. And then you go and pick the same type of woman AGAIN, expecting different results?

The dollar sign goes before the numerals. That's the part of this story that was most interesting.

tbh I don't get all the hate on OP. Unless she also has to cut hours and she makes more money it just makes sense for her to pick them up... work is just as much work as doing that, it's not like he's getting out of anything

You clearly need to discuss this BEFORE marriage. She obviously feels like there is an imbalance and it's not always money related. Communication OP. If you can't do it now, marriage won't fix it.
