Parenting expenses can quickly become a source of tension.

In this story, a woman is currently on maternity leave with a reduced salary.

She asked her husband to buy a new sleep sack for their growing baby.

But her husband refused, saying he didn’t see it as necessary.

Do you agree? Let’s take a closer look!

AITAH for asking for husband to buy a sleep sack for our baby?

I am 33F. My husband is 34F.

We have a four-month-old (almost five) baby together.

We split all bills 50/50. We make roughly the same income.

However, I am currently on maternity leave, so my salary is reduced.

This woman thought her husband had some money to spare.

Money is tight.

My husband does not typically have a ton left over.

But he has made some personal purchases lately for leisure.

So I presumed he was currently comfortable.

She asked him to buy a new sleep sack for the baby, but he refused.

Our baby is outgrowing his sleep sack. It costs $45.

I asked my husband if he could purchase him a new one. He said no.

He said he does not care about it or think it is necessary or important.

This led to a long texting argument after.

This one makes sense, too.

Finally, short and straightforward.

If you’re the real father, you have to care about your baby’s needs.
