I see Barb that you still hope your X will pay his third. It's sad really. They're still sad. With gas prices and food prices through the roof, you'd think they'd pay something toward their kids'. But as for me, I decided right. My X is a moneygrubbing SOB who will never think about anyone but himself.

I spent the afternoon talking with dentists and oral surgeons ( wisdon teeth no less) and I have given the boys' credit cards for gas. Which ain't cheap. But I'm their mom. I think they need me now more than ever.

But Barb, if these boys spend 2 hours with their dad per week he's lucky. I spend much time with them. I am the one who benefits. Just as you do with Ashley.

They may be young, but they know the truth.
