I'm in a bit of shock tonight...to cut a long story short DPs ex is a typical use kids for money ex, anyway tonight she text him asking that as oldest DSS (lives with us full time) is spending 2 days with her over Xmas, would he give her money to cover any expenses for him!!!!!!
Am I wrong to think this is awful, it's not the money I care about but this is her child her first baby and she is saying she can't dig deep to serve up an extra dinner!! She doesn't have any financial responsibity for him at all, Jesus I would go with out the bloody meal myself for my child.
I get sick of this old fashioned view from some that the ex husbands should have ALL the financial responsibility, it is both parents job, yes 1 may have the ability to do a higher percentage of it than another same with everyday care but you both have it, parental and financial duties don't we?
