D D you tend to bend and twist posts and situations to accommodate your thinking. you hear 'the money is for the kids' and other versions of.. all the time b/c it is, at least it should be. A divorced family is not one in body, as you have said, a divorced family is one
financially--especially when there are children involved.
You suggested that "stillstrong" ask ex to chip in for certain items(example you gave was bike).That's purely hypocritical on your part. Several weeks ago there were posts about child support and i said i ask my ex to chip in for certain activities for the kids, whether he wanted to or not was his choice. I named the numerous activities and exposure to various aspects of life that my kids have had the pleasure of experiencing. I simply mentioned that i've asked my ex to chip in and you were appauled at that, saying that shoudl be covered by child support. I then posted again and mentioned a few things i've had my children involved with and where they're been and you had no response b/c you knew child support would not cover all those experiences and activities, pay half for food, clothing etc. you actually did answer....by evading the question.
The very thing you condemned me for is the very thing you're suggesting to stillstrong. same player;different stages.
