Today, the guy I live with demanded that I get a job or start paying rent. It'd be perfectly reasonable, if he wasn't my husband, and if I hadn't just given birth to our first child. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after presenting my husband with a more than fair request to pay me an hourly wage for being a stay-at-home mom, he laughed his ass off and told me if I want money so badly, I could get a job. He'd rather strangers in daycare raise our babies than pay me what I'm worth. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend to help me with groceries, since the last of my money went to last week's groceries. His response was to start a fight, then tell me it's my fault my daughter acts the way she does, which is when he finally got me to break down and cry. I'm pregnant with his kid, and I also pay 90% of our bills. 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 boyfriend of two years completely lost it because last night I told him I wanted to move to a less remote area so I can be independent. He shouted that I bring no money in, he has to do everything, and that I that I snore so loud he can hear me from downstairs where he sleeps. I'm pregnant. We are in our 40s. FML
Today, my husband needs the money from my job, but will in no way support me to work. He NEVER cooks, cleans, or picks up after himself. I've got no place to work, except a nook by the bathroom, and I have to manage my toddler, who always poops only when I'm in a meeting, and cries for me. Quitting my job is "out the question." FML
Today, I woke up to my apartment in a state of total disarray. I've been asking my boyfriend to get either get a job, or clean the house. I just had a bunch of dental work taken care of. He doesn't have a job, and doesn't want to find one. I'm tired of trying to raise an already grown man. FML
Today, I finally told my roommate, who doesn't pay rent, to go get a job. He left, came back, and immediately went to my refrigerator to eat. I asked him about his job and what his pay is. Apparently, putting together a bike for a kid is a job. FML
Today, my psycho landlord threatened to take me to court if I don't pay my rent on time this month. I'd totally understand if he weren't my father-in-law, and if the reason I didn't pay on time before was because of hospital fees I'd incurred for an emergency appendectomy. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend he has to stop paying half of his baby mama's rent or I would leave. He laughed and said I could leave. FML
Today, I asked my husband to be a little more responsible, pick up after himself, and spend a little less. I earn more than he does, so it's usually my money that he splurges. He has gone on a non-stop tantrum for the past 5 hours, giving me the cold shoulder, and shouting at me. What have I gotten myself into? FML

I bet he won't be saying that if he went through labor.

Tell him that you have a job. Caring for a newborn. Also let him know that since it's his child he needs to pay back rent for the nine months your baby spent living inside you.

unfortunately it isn't how the world works anymore. both have to contribute

She is. By staying home with the child, they can save over $400 a month. Daycare is expensive and can cost $150+ per week.

Not all contributions to a home are monetary. Daycare is $900 where I live, after taxes I would have cleared $300 a month. A few hundred and someone else spending the majority of the time with my son? Nope. The way the world "works" now is that every household can decide how they want it to run. The standard isn't men working while women stay at home anymore, one can work, both can work, plenty of stay at home dads too. Not all couples need two incomes.

Um, United Kingdom. 39 weeks of PAID maternity leave at 90% of her regular weekly pay. He's just being an ass.

What a dick

That's really inconsiderate of him. He should've asked the baby, all it's done is eat, poop, and cry, and hasn't put any effort into running day-to-day tasks, how lazy can you get!

What a rude insensitive jerk. Well next time he demands you pAy rent. You demand that he pay for sex and then tell him that will not only cover rent but living expenses as well. See how he likes that. Kick him where it hurts the most. Your husband is a low life.

I get the baby part, but why did you bring up him being your husband? Does that automatically mean that he has to pay all expenses?

That's kind of the deal when you get married. They exchange vows and rings and agree to take care of each other. Since she's unable to work at the moment, that means he'll have to pay the bills.

He told her to pay rent. She just gave birth and OB's need to okay work.

I feel for you OP! just gave birth 4 weeks ago and I'm the sole provider as my OH is a stay at home dad but won't reverse the role while I'm on maternity! I hope he was only joking though!
