WTH??? In case no one told you, your money is her money and vice versa. What difference does it make?
Sounds as if your wife is taking care of *two* babies!
Grow up, man!

I don't understand how the baby belongs to both of you, but both of you don't provide for the baby. Don't you both pay for household expenses, etc? If I were the wife, and I thought you were being excessive (baby won't remember anything about it), when we could use the money for bills or something, then I might decide differently. Otherwise, that's just weird, unless it's your baby from another relationship?

well traditional women like the man to pay for everything. Does she work and have an income? If it is way less than yours, I wouldn't worry about these petty things. Anyways, how much does a baby's birthday cost? First things first, spoil but don't be nuts about it!

Well, the question would be is your wife working? If she infact is then she should be helping. Some woman prefer to be stay at home moms and then the wife should not pay anything. If the wife infact has a upstanding job then things like birthday's and daycare etc. should be spilt evenly.

D-uh???? Where is it in a marriage contract wherein it says that your wife should pay for something you are responsible for and is your obligation to do so? If she's earning more than you are, then ask her to help but don't put a figure on it. If she's not working or not even earning more than you are - the nerve of you to expect that from her. She may not have spent a single cent on that baby but heck, YOU DIDN'T CARRY IT FOR 9 MONTHS, YOU DIDN'T DELIVER IT, YOU DIDN'T BREASTFEED THAT BABY - did you now.

If you both have a job you both need to pitch in. Why has this never been brought up? You need to tell her that you need some help and this is not all your responsibility.

She may already be paying without cash. Does she provide other services? Cooking? Cleaning? Etc?

If you are married, and have separate finances, you probably should have discussed what you'd share BEFORE you got married.
If you resent paying for your own child's birthday party, what is next? I think that's insane.

what? are you still married? is she working? why aren't your finances put together? i think you need to give more details. the most important thing is that the baby is cared for, not who pays what. stop b*tching over money.
