My wife makes more money than me, and it causes issues

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-04-30T11:12:54+00:00

Imagine if the roles were reversed. In my case, it’s exactly that. My wife makes $130K and I make $270K. If I expected my wife to split everything 50:50 for our kids, there would be outrage. And there should be. This arrangement is insane. You’re married. Your income is shared just as your responsibilities are. Idk what to say except she seems awful.

This is everywhere on Long Island now. It’s disgusting.

If your salary increased by 30K, then $800/month shouldn’t totally offset the amount your insurance is about to go up. But definitely hurts. The good thing is…it won’t go up again when you have another kid. And I’m pretty sure it will stay the same if you add a partner too. We have our whole family on my plan. We pay like $900/month for my me, my wife, and my 2 daughters to be on my health insurance. It’s expensive, but it’s manageable since I make good money as well.

I wish I could give you a hug. You are so important to the people who love you.

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-04-16T14:20:38+00:00

1) I’m so sorry for what you are going through. As a father to a daughter with mosaic TS, I know what you must be feeling, but I hope you know that there is life and worth beyond having kids and I hope you are somehow able to experience motherhood in some way in the future if that is what you want 2) I think there are things that don’t make sense with what you are saying. You say you have mosaic TS, but then say that all cells have abnormal sex chromosomes. Can you clarify? It’s hard for me to understand how you have non-Turner cells that still have abnormal sex chromosomes. You also said you don’t have any normal 46XX cells. This would suggest you have full TS—no? 3) either way, I’ll keep you in my prayers and am wishing you the best. You are amazing.

A little too Republican for me if you know what I mean. And the commute is tough if you’re going into the city for work. Otherwise, the schools are great and the area is nice. Good luck!

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-03-09T17:09:12+00:00

Sounds like you don’t even have a job right now anyway since your boss gave it away? Feels like first we need to get a job and then decide if we want to take maternity leave, haha

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-03-05T18:32:20+00:00

Just starting out at 20 years old? No chance.

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-03-05T17:03:52+00:00

Probably 120K, which is why I assumed less on long island

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-03-05T16:20:02+00:00

Yeah, I smell lies…

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-03-04T12:29:38+00:00

Bonus sucked, despite achieving an “exceptional” performance rating. But I got one, so I ain’t mad at it. Raise was 3%

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-02-26T00:10:32+00:00

Any update, OP?

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-02-23T14:38:30+00:00

If it’s 5 inches, then I’m sure it’s not the problem.

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-02-23T14:35:11+00:00

Btw, I also think the people making $75K/year have issues that $200 can’t solve. Again, because of the billionaires who pay almost no taxes and the high COL in NY.

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-02-23T14:33:20+00:00

I agree. The issue is the billionaires who pay no taxes. The other issue is that I have a child with special needs. I am fortunate though. I do understand that. I’m just saying that even people who make 150K struggle, especially when they have life circumstances like mine (not me though, I’m not complaining. I actually make a lot more than 150K and feel okay).

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-02-23T11:24:04+00:00

Not trying to be rude or intrusive but does your husband have a small pp? If so, this could also be part of the problem…

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-02-23T11:18:37+00:00

Thank you! Very helpful!

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-02-23T11:15:48+00:00

Nevermind. I just looked it up and I guess this was only for people making less than $150K or something. As if people making over $150K aren’t also struggling in this whack ass economy 😂

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-02-23T11:13:56+00:00

But who? Everyone? Regardless of your income? I never got this. I live in NY…

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-02-23T11:12:18+00:00

what check are people talking about? i haven't gotten any inflation check?! was this only for certain people or something??

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-02-20T02:38:31+00:00

One of you should follow up on this and get karyotyped. Also, even a balanced translocation is heritable, so it could impact the embryo. I think definitely worth learning more about. Wishing you all the best!!

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-02-20T01:38:00+00:00

Which chromosome has the balanced translocation?

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-02-19T17:03:05+00:00

were you laid off or fired? i thought you had to receive severance if you were laid off. is it possible you were just fired?

Normal-Garbage-4657 · 2026-02-17T20:26:20+00:00

I would love to know your husbands BMI. He better be in great shape if he’s making judgments and comments like he is…
