For some reason, I know this is going to sound sexist. I sometimes understand the stupidity and carelessness of the male WA's from the boards, but for the life of me I can't fathom the thoughtlessness of the WA moms.
My X has never in my boys lives bought them an article of clothing or a shoe, or underwear or a sock. So I sure don't expect him to do that after the D even though he no longer pays child support.
To go shopping with my daughter - or my sons - is a gift to me, but especially my daughter because she's a mini-me (ahem, she's much shorter). Every now and then we just go shopping. She's grown now, but I still pick things up for her that I think she'll like. I will probably always do that. So I can't understand your STBX for the life of me.
See what you got for getting yourself in a quandry? She didn't even care. At least with your parents your daughter may get to spend some time with a real woman - your mom. It may do her a world of good. What a shame that people don't even think about the poor little kids they left behind.
You'll just have to do more for her because she's without a mom in her life Fender. Thank God she has you.
