Hoping that someone else can shed a light on a somewhat irritating situation! DD with ex is 11, her Dad and I have been separated since she was 6 months old. Apart from him annoying the hell out of me occasionally we’ve managed to coparent amicably for the most part. In the last few years or so he’s been making a lot of money in work and CM payments have increased, he has her every other weekend from Fri-Mon. He said that as he earns considerably more now and will be paying me more, he won’t be contributing to anything above and beyond the minimum he’s expected to pay and won’t be buying clothes for his house either whilst she’s there. He pays £500 pm. Recently he’s been sending me aggressive messages about the ‘state’ of the clothes I send her with. Apparently they’re grubby and I should be doing a much better job of dressing our DD. I’ve ignored him for the most part because she’s a child and her clothes are perfectly fine, maybe her uniform has a small pen mark or very slightly discoloured sleeves. He wants me to replace her uniform and clothes when they get stained. I think this is unreasonable and wasteful to say the least, I will be replacing them EVERY WEEK. I want her to grow up comfortable with who she is and happy to get a bit messy if she’s having fun and not worry about what others think of her. Her uniform is soaked, stains treated every week. Has anyone else had the same experience? At a loss, I’m sick of his aggressive text messages telling me that I’m not doing a good enough job
