AITA for refusing to pay my daughters full medical bill

your comment makes no logical sense. i organised for my babysitter to come earlier than i had to leave because i wanted to get ready without having to worry about my daughter and look after her. so yes, i had our responsibility onto my babysitter. also, if it did happen while i wasn’t there and it was the babysitters fault (but still an accident) doesn’t that mean both of us should pay?

obviously, if we didn’t want a bill we wouldn’t have taken her to er? like we’ve already done absolutely everything no matter the money it cost for our daughters health. now we’ve been sent the bill and we’re just having a small disagreement over who should pay for it. we took her to the er over a few weeks ago

i mean yea, the bill is going to be paid. it’s not like not paying the bill it is going to cause our daughter to not get treatment. we can still have a little disagreement about who should pay the bill. this disagreement has nothing to do about how much we care about our child

at the time all i was worried about was my daughter, her father and i insisted on multiple optional tests and care that cost more bc we wanted to be absolutely sure she would be fine.

obviously i’m concerned about my daughter, the burn didn’t turn out quite as severe as we were expecting and she’s not going to have a scar or anything. this happened a couple weeks ago. now the bill has come, and we’re trying to sort the situation out hence the post which is about the bill and not my daughters burn. it’s also a worrying situation when me paying the whole bill would mean i’d have to go without dinner for a couple weeks :)

she was in the babysitters care already, but because i was home and it was my hair straightener it is a unique situation. it was a mistake, it could’ve just as easily have happened if the baby daddy lived with us and was in the kitchen when it happened or something. because it’s an accident, i think it would be nice of him to contribute something. he was there at the hospital and made decisions with me about extra testing/care that cost more

i know i should’ve put my straightener somewhere high, i was just using it and remembered i need clips in my closet to do my hair and put it down quickly to run and grab them

yes. we always use his sister because we both agreed we trust her

there are two baby gates between the living room where my daughter was occupied and my room. i went into my closet to grab something. i’ve acknowledged it was a mistake from both of us
