In one case she wanted me to switch a pair of shorts that were now too small for another larger pair of shorts. How petty is that? She had put in a bag on the back door in the middle of my visit (ie not sent with the kids during and exchange but made a separate walk over to leave the shorts and a note (and an email i answered the next day) to that effect. I've pretty much told her thats why she gets child support and that since we don't live together, there is no reason why we should still share things (even the kids clothes).


I had to deal with the same thing... STBXW kept coming to the house for more clothes for our D (who lives with me during the week and sees her mother on the weekend). Like you, I got upset about it at first (especially when I bought four new pairs of pants and all of them disappeared) but the truth is they're your kids' clothes, and not yours or your W's. Others may disagree, but I say just let this one go--it's not worth having the kids clothes be a proxy for the larger issues.

My WAW/WW/WTF is a piece of work, but "Me and her" has nothing to do with "her and D"


Just keep swimming
