The part that is surprising to me is, after he gives me alimony and child support, he still should have $4K a month, or more, for himself. He makes GOOD money. His house payment is only $650/mo because it is a fixer upper.
So clearly he has taken on a ton of debt in the past 18 months if he can't make it work on $4k/mo. I pay all the daycare bills, school fees, dance lessons, swim lessons, and medical bills for the kids. I just dropped $140 on school pictures for the two kids because I bought double packages so he would have pictures, and I would have pictures...
Technically I am supposed to hit him up for 50% of the medical bills, but I haven't. Imagine how much more incensed he would be if he knew he actually owed me more money...
(((((BobbiJo))))) I know it "feels" like the right thing to do, but I don't think I would go for very long not having him pay what he is supposed to pay. Once he gets used to that, he isn't going to like it when something come up that you really need him to pay his part of. It's easier to be consistent with him, just as if he was a four year old!
What an a$$!!! And seriously, he sounds like he is loosing it. BUT, he isnt. He is playing the martyr card to lessen the impact of being a jerk and bringing her over to his parents. He "attacks" with misery so you wont "attcak him"... What a jerk!!!
