Have him pay half of the other bills of the home as he is living there and you pay half of daycare as the child is yours as well
Bf and bills I
Before my bf moved in I agreed for him to pay me $300 a month in rent and pay for all of daycare which isn’t too much considering most people pay way more. It ranges from $45-$75 a week. A family friend charges us $2/hour so it’s reasonable lol. I agreed he would pay these amounts cause he does have a few other loans to pay off. $550 a month for truck, $550 for school loans, $350 a month for a boat, insurance for everything and that’s about it. I’m not asking him for anymore money but he thinks I should be paying for some daycare. Keep in mind, I have another child with a different t man that I fully support without child support from his dad because he’s in jail. I pay for both kids insurance. I pay for my mortgage $980/month, all groceries, school loan which is only $100/month, garbage, electricity $170/month, insurance on the house, $150 for a loan I used for a credit card ugh, phone $100/month.... we make pretty much the same amount of money. I mean is it wrong that I make him pay for daycare? We agreed to it from the start. I just don’t feel I should have too. If that’s the case, he can start paying half of all the other bills that come along with owning a home?
I know it’s my child as well but I feel like I have so much more to pay. He doesn’t pay the insurance for the child either which is another $50 a check. Ugh I wanna hear all opinions.

Have you not taken your other child's dad to court for child support?

What country are you from?

Regardless, surely there are avenues to explore, get from his parents or something. That's how it works in my country.

100% she left that out at the time of my comment. She must have edited her post.
How the bills get paid is whatever you guys agree to unless you guys need to make amendments. Like when you guys settle in and get a feel for how much your expenses are affecting you, you guys should be talking to each other about how you guys are doing managing your finances. My bf and I are always trying to keep track of each other and making sure all the bills get paid and how we are feeling about everything. Like he paid gas and I paid electric but we had an electric car for some time and that was his car so he helped pay part of the electric for the time we had the car. I was hospitalized and my bf was always checking in on me if I ever needed help with financial stuff. It's never just one agreement and done. You guys are supposed to look out for each other and figure out what works for your lives.
