A woman on BabyBumps subreddit sought advice on whether to ask her husband to contribute toward the hospital bills for their newborn. Many commenters expressed surprise at her hesitation, emphasizing that shared finances should be a norm in marriage, particularly concerning family-related expenses. Some suggested establishing a joint household budget to simplify discussions around finances, while others pointed out that separate finances can also be valid. The discussion highlighted differing views on financial arrangements in marriages with children.
You need to ask your husband to help pay the hospital bill for the birth of his child? What's the point of even being married then? Sounds more like roommates.
This is a family expense, not a 'mine' or 'yours' expense. Once kids get here, 'mine' and 'yours' really go out the window in many ways.
