long story short ex took ds out for day first time ever ds is 2 wasn't sure what to do about spending money so sent £10 told ex ds had money to spend if needed but tbh assumed ex would by him souvenier. Came home and he had used my money ex has well paid job i scrape by AIBU to think he should have paid.

So don't send him with spending money again, he's going to see his dad not on a school trip.

Sorry, I agree that it was your own fault for sending the money with him.

TheMotherOfAllDilemmas · 11/04/2011 00:24

agree with the rest.

Your ex is a twat of the highest order, but you shouldn't have sent your DS with money as it gives the impression that financial responsibility is down to you in all situations. Your ex is an idiot to have spent it on the day though.

Why on earth did you send your ds off with money? It is HIS son, he should pay. TBF I think that is plain weired.

YANBU to expect your ex to spend money on his son....YABU to send him away with spending money then complain about it afterwards

Tight git

YABU to send any money with him, why on earth did you do that? Unfortunately I don't see what you can moan about if you sent it and he spent it.

If this is the first time your ex has taken him out and he's that much of a twat he's going to expect it every time now.

the reason i sent money i know how tight ex is didnt want ds to be only one not getting present at end of day how upsetting that would have been for him.

I don't see why he's tight in this instance, tba. Your DS presumably thought the money was intended to be spent? Lots of children would be a bit upset if they were told they couldn't spend money they'd been specially given, wouldn't they?

No YANBU he should have paid for it. But you knew he wouldnt or you woudlnt have packed the money.

Your DS is 2 he doesn't need souveniers next time let dh pay and dont send money
