Is fucking ridiculous for 3 children.
This is what my ex.said he was going to start paying me in child support.
We've been split 2 and a half years
Our original agreement was that he'd pay half of all clothes, unoforms, school trips and birthday parties.
A lot of the time he didn't do what he'd said and would leave me to sort it all.
One year he even tried to claim that my best friends presents to the DC were off him because he was too tight to spend any money on them and then felt guilty when he saw the effort my best friend had put in. (I soon put them straight)
Now he's decided that what I buy is too expensive (I shop in primark or George at asda for clothes, aldi/asda/Iceland for party food and I can't control the cost of uniforms or school trips) not that he was paying half anyway.
So he told me he will give me £20 a week.
For 3 kids.
One of which is a 13 year old boy in adult size s clothes and 9 feet.
£20 doesn't even cover half what they need each week. He must think they live off dust and water and never need new clothes or shoes.
Thing is I'm not even holding my breath for the £20. It won't be long before he claims he camy afford it.
So AIBU to think he's a tight sod and should pay more if he's going to pay at all?
And before anyone asks he does have more money spare but he's becoming dependent on alcohol, drinking 6-10 bottles of lager a night. He's told me how much he drinks and that he will not give up his alcohol because I asked him not to drink when he had the kids. He refused.
All of his spare cash goes on alcohol and tobacco
