Hubby doesn’t want to do 50% of parenting as he says I don’t earn 50% of household income!

So angry with my husband. He says that he earns much more money than me. I earn about 50k a year and he earns around 250k. As such proportionately he should only do at best 20% of parenting duties and I should do the remainder. I work just as long hours as him. But my job doesn’t pay as well. What should I do! #assholehubby #ranting

your hubby is an asshole indeed. it doesn’t work that way omg. my ex was like that too, using his income as power against me. this is very demoralizing that he thinks he’s better than you because he earns more. parenting is 50-50! if you can, do invite him for counseling.. or get some counseling yourself to seek help on how to manage. it’s important that this be resolved and not drag on for too long, you’ll resent him more over time
