HUSBAND REFUSES TO PAY BIRTHING BILL

A woman on Reddit has gone viral for sharing that her husband refused to pay his half of an $8,000 medical bill for the birth of their child. The new mom explained that everything was going well after giving birth to their child until the hospital bills arrived. She originally planned to have an un-medicated birth, but after a 24-hour labor, she got the epidural. She wrote: “When the bill came, he brought it to me to pay all $8,000, after insurance. I asked why, and he said, ‘You’re the one that couldn’t hold on for a few more hours and jacked up the bill with all your meds and an extra night’s stay.'” He said that if she wanted “luxury” she should be the one paying for it. The extra “luxury” was a lactation consultant, blood tests, post-partum supplies and the epidural. She added that she ultimately paid the birth bill but is now questioning her entire marriage.
* Oh, I get the feeling he’ll be paying for this one way or another.
* Ask him if he wants the luxury kick in the nuts with a pillow to scream in, or just the regular kick.
* Hmm. If they get divorced, will she be able to tell the kid “This wasn’t your fault, honey”?
* Now he’s complaining that the baby expects them to splurge on a clean diaper EVERY SINGLE DAY.
* There’s something called a “luxury” birthing package, and it costs $8,000 after insurance. That’s how you know this happened in an American hospital.
* PHONE TOPIC: Ladies, what would you do if your husband did this? Has he pulled something similar?
