We'll....AIBU?!? WWYD??

[Lovemy3kids]

DD has needed a new pair of school shoes for the past month. I said she had to ask her dad, my ex, for new shoes. So far, he has refused to purchase them and out of principle, I am refusing to buy them too.

At the moment she is wearing her school daps to school, and her father is aware of this.

I provide everything for our 3 DC as he refuses to pay maintenance for them and I feel that if he is not going to contribute as he has been asked, then a new pair of school shoes isn't really that big a deal.

Mu mum says I should buy her a pair, and I feel the he should buy her a pair.

AIBU?!?

Sorry to hear you're dealing with an utter prick and that responses on here made you cry, but you've definitely done the right thing by buying the shoes and sorting this out between you. Hope you get the maintenance sorted soon.

I agree with everyone else - buy the poor child some shoes and push the CSA.

If you can afford to and are refusing to make your daughter comfortable on a matter of principal do you see how horrible that is?

Oh jeez. RTFT people!!

Well done for rising about it OP - you are the better person for it.

Invoice the fucker

Good luck
