It is not about children at all. At the moment, we do it so that I pay EVERYTHING, including the incidental costs alone. She completely pays for the food except for my lunch at work. The suggestion came from her, I actually didn’t mind. I would have also gladly contributed €200 to the food fund. We’ve also been together for less than 10 years. I pay for cinema and everything else; I somehow feel that’s my duty since I earn significantly more. So she pays €200 and then has €1600 for herself. She can live quite well on that.
If there were a child, of course I wouldn’t expect her to work full-time, because in my opinion if both work full-time, then there’s no need to have a child. But part-time, whatever percentage that might be, I would expect after about 24 months. I would reduce to 80% myself if that would help. As a civil servant, that’s relatively easy, I don’t even know how much money is lost there. So with a child, a fair solution for both sides would definitely be found, I am sure.
And you find something like that great forever and always? That you always have to reach financial agreements?
That would be against my nature. ALL IN and everyone gets a share of the honey pot.
Otherwise, everything has to be split up, tax class 4/4 retained, etc.
That’s guaranteed to cause stress. But that’s just my opinion!
