Husband asking the wife to pay towards purchasing the child's nappies

Q: My son is 3 years 5 months. My husband is telling me to potty train for few months. I am not training him due to the fact that I trained my first one at this age and he messed napaak everywhere.  I told my husband I will try this month to train him and he told me if his not trained then I will have to pay a portion for his nappies. I feel very hurt as he buys vape and uses which is a high expense too. I want to know is this Islamically correct for him to tell me that I should contribute?

A: It is not right for your husband to ask you to pay for your child's nappies. This is part of his responsibilities.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
