ExH has always insisted that his maintenance payments via the CSA mean that he should be able to order whatever school photo, dance photo, personalised items from school etc he likes without additional payment to me. I disagree and said he needs to pay me for them ifhe wants them. He isn't involved with dds schooling or activities so cannot order them himself.
Last year he took several weeks but eventually paid for them. Now I'm waiting for around £30 for school photos which I ordered for him in early October. I know I should've held onto them til he'd paid, and usually do, but also know he'll eventually pay and feel like he likes this little bit of control over me. £30 is nothing to him but a lot to me, which he is well aware of but I'm certainly not going to beg for it. Aibu to think maintenance doesn't cover these expenses and to refuse to order anything for him in future unless I have payment up front?
