Am I being taken the mic out of
My partner has a child to a previous relationship and an ours baby (9 months) he pays for his child and has very barely paid for our. He claims he hasn’t got any money et even though he works full time and a side job. I get paid zero and on my savings paying for our child as well. I’m struggling to see why he is struggling with money. He says bills and cost of living but part of me feels he is taking the mick out of me as he would have to provide financially if we weren’t together. I found out he lied about paying for his child swimming he has never paid for ours.

So since she has been born he has paid for her milk 4 times, nappies twice and baby wipes twice. That’s his contribution. He hasn’t paid anything else not even the newborn setups like pram cot sterilizer clothes not anything at all. He pays for his house and I pay for mine which is the same but we live at his as it caters for his other child her room is here and I’m selling mine. We get paid the same albeit I’m not bringing paid and I saved when I was in maternity he didn’t save
I feel you, partner pays for his other kid but not ours. I also pay most of the bills and do most of the house work

That’s a tough one. Do you live together and split bills ? If so he technically is paying towards your child. He should have no issue in paying for the same activities for your child. When you say barely paid for your child what do you mean ? I remember at the start I felt funny that my partner hadn’t bought my daughter any clothes but now I think about it and see what he chooses to dress her in and realise it’s just because he’s clueless lol but he’ll pay for other stuff so we balance out xx
