OK. Comments please.

DD8 doesn't want to go and see her mother. Prefers to stay with me.
DD12 likes to go see her mother, but has stated she doesn't want to live with mother.

I believe DD12 likes to go see her mom cause her mom buys her things. She also calls her mothers parents to buy her things. Her mother also takes her to the mall often to buy things. Prefers to feed them fast food, etc. I've always had issue with my STBXWW "buying" the kids off. $50.00 dolls because the kid wants one. $15-20.00 toys weekly (?) cause the kid wants one (was, I believe, part of our "inability" to save money). Hmmmm...

Thoughts are welcome.
Thank you.
