How much of the 'basics' do you provide when dc are with the other parent?
My ds' sleep 1/14 nights at their dads,(he lives with his gf and her 2 dc) and I send them with clean clothes for the next day, and they bring the dirty stuff home. (well, they're meant to, but in reality cone home in the dirty stuff, no idea why)
He has swimming trunks (as they have a pool in the garden), toothbrushes and toothpaste, and as far as I know they don't bath when there so wash stuff is irrelevant.
So, this summer they are all going away for a week, but ex had asked me to provide suncream as they can't afford it. Apparently its costing them a fortune in this weather not sure why he thinks its not.costing me the same!
Obviously I will provide the suncream, but just wondered what others did. I'm confused how they can afford a haven holiday for a week, (which sounds like a luxury to me) but not sun cream!
Also, I get no maintenance as ex apparently can't afford it! The CSA are still sorting this out.
