His wife agreed they could not stay with the baby, then reversed that the moment the baby became real. Now she is threatening to leave over a request for $150 a week She does not make enough to cover her own expenses without him, which means the threat is mostly leverage dressed up as principle.
Why she thinks asking grown adults to contribute to a household they live in is a punishment will remain an unanswered question, because, well, it’s stupid. Because that’s clearly the bare minimum. And framing that as unreasonable while a 53-year-old burns PTO days to drive for Instacart and calls his parents for help is a level of cognitive dissonance that is genuinely impressive.
He is not asking them to leave. He is asking them to participate. At some point the question stops being whether that is reasonable and starts being why everyone in this situation except him seems to think his financial stress is someone else’s problem.
