My ds's dad who, in the last 18 months has spent:
Around £10 on ds for each Christmas and possibly about the same for his birthday.
He pays me no maintenance at all. He recently bought (I say bought, he didnt buy it..he gave ds his gf's lad's old mobile phone) as her 5 year old got a new and improved one. I was thinking of getting ds one this year anyway as he will be moving up to senior school. I said that as it was his dad's idea, he could put the credit on it. Ds is really sensible with it surprisingly and hardly uses it. He started off with about £3 and the next week he asked his dad to top it up, which he did, with a fiver.
Two weeks later he had used his fiver and asked his dad to top it up. His gf butted in and said ds had a fiver on it the week before. No love, he didnt, it was 2 weeks before.
I pay for everything food, clothes, uniform, birthday parties, christmas etc. He has spent approx. £40 on ds in 18 months! Grrrrrrr. There's gonna be trouble if he doesn't top this ruddy phone up this weekend, how mean can one be?
