Hospital Bills
Ladies, how do you and your spouse split hospital / delivery charges? Is there an expectation on the guy to pay for everything?
For our first, I paid 1/3 and he paid the rest cz at tt pt of time we just got our hse and alot of money was alr put in our reno but for my 2nd born, he insisted on paying all by himself. So when I got my bonuses, I tried to put in our joint accts (but still aren't as much as him since he's earning twice as me). Do discuss with your hubby what both of u are comfortable with. For us, we are happy with the current arrangement where he pays for the major necessities while I pay whatever I can for small items. We both contribute to our joint accts monthly too and have separate funds for kids, house and investments.
Read moreNope, I do not expect the guy to pay for everything. My husband paid 60% and I paid 40% of the check up, hospital and delivery charges. Personally, I’m pretty much independent and do not expect guy to pay things for me. I can do it myself and I don’t want to see my husband suffers too. If I can help him, why not?
Read moreactually it depend on both husband and wife... if the husband wanted to pay all let him paid lor afterall it is his job as a husband but if the wife wanne help out why not.. it is the same case as me , if my husband want to pay all i let him paid coz he know his responsibility but at times i'll paid the bills myself

Cause imagine paying $10k+ himself, some more im the one die die want A1. But from the start also i dont expect him to pay all. So we 50/50. Some appts also i pay myself
Read moreIf it’s me, yes, he’s expected to pay for everything related to delivery charges unless he’s bankrupt. It’s his child for god’s sake and you’re done your part for the whole pregnancy. It’s the least he can do.
For our first, I paid the delivery charges but Medisave cut from his. So kinda 50-50? For our second, he wanted to pay for everything so includes deposit and Medisave
My husband paid for everything major. I’m in charged of baby clothings, bath tub, milk powder and diapers.
our income earnings are roughly similar so we split the bills to be fair to both parties
my husband earns more than 3x of me so he picks up everything voluntarily.
We split the bills almost 50-50 but not so exactly or calculative.
