new to the Big D

You know, my xh did the same thing a few times. He tacked on extra when he could and I turned around and used that money for a specific extra for our son. That way, he was just giving extra money (that would have been OUR money before the D) to our son for a new video game or a pizza and movie night. That sort of thing. A couple of times that he did it we went out and did something fun together (son and I) and I took pics and texted them to him with a short thank you message from our son. Yeah, it was nice but I wasn't beholden to him in any way because of it because these were things we would have been doing together with our son if we had still been M'd.

JMHO of course. Do whatever you feel good about.
