I’ve been with DH 5 years I’ve 3 daughters 13,18,22 eldest lives in her own house.
SD is 11 her mother is controlling and demanding never buys her daughter clothes uniform etc and owes hundreds in child support.

I have provided and paid and got all SD clothes uniform etc as DH and BM argues why they shouldn’t leaving SD without I even provide clothes for SD at her BM as otwroawe she has none.

Well in the UK we aren’t allowed to take children out school for family holidays or we get a fine separated parents get a fine each.

So SD has been invited on a friends family holiday so School will fine both parents and DH doesn’t want SD out of school when it’s nit allowed.
So BM has said she’ll pay both fines

I’m upset as I have brought everything that SD neeeded for 5 years and her mother refused and DH is agreeing SD goes.
He expects me to do all her clothes buying washing cooking cleaning but not have a say in what she’s allowed to do.

What can I do to show these people they are disrespecting me and bringing they’re child up wrong saying we aren’t buying you clothes and uniform but you can go in a holiday that’s not allowed but we can fund the cash to pay fines ?

Thanks
