TLDR; my partner wants me to help pay for her trip that she knew about for 3 months, but waited until 3 weeks ago to make arrangements.
My partner has an important event that she has known about for about 3 months in advance. She waited until 3 weeks ago to book her flights, she’s taking out cash advances, to be able to afford her trip and pay her bills.
We live together with 2 children(1 & 4) In a house that’s in my name, I pay the mortgage, utilities, car insurance, gas , and about half of the groceries. Im on a tight budget and occasionally do gig jobs on top of my WFH job.
I am sure if I have been being petty. I am pretty burnt out these days between the kids, work, doing all of the house maintenance, and driving her to work 5 days a week. She has been pressing me to find a higher paying job or to get a job when she doesn’t work so she can afford this trip.
The thing is a few months ago we got a lot of money from our child tax credit. We split it 50/50. She has a chance to book this whole trip then but she blew all of her share of the money on shopping sprees and treating herself. She did buy a lot of essentials. I spent my share on catching up on bills/debt, a very costly car repair, home repair, and like 3 outfits from target.
So pretty much now she’s Worries that she won’t have enough money and expects me to come up with a plan in order for her to go. I already have her $150 this weekend.
Am I being petty for not wanting to make extra money for this trip?
