Just that, really.

What do you spend your child maintenance on?

This is prompted by a thread I read yesterday. A poster said they spent it solely on stuff for their children (clothes, uniform, school meals etc), but I sometimes use mine for general family stuff like food shopping, sometimes bills etc.

I am trying to move some of it into the kids accounts for when they are older too.

AIBU to not only spend that money on stuff for the kids?!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

My ex wanted to put it in a separate account to save for Ds’s future ( so I couldn’t spent it) I told him he was welcome to start saving for Ds ‘s future and I would use the maintenance as I see fit.
