I agree J, I just don't know what to do as it involves my girls. If she over spent and has minimal money to buy groceries for them, entertain them, etc. I struggle with it.
My only motive in giving her CS money early is as it is of benefit to my girls. If they were not involved it would be a completely different story.
I don't need her for anything, the Dr. doesn't need her XH for anything but both of them rely on us for things. The Dr's XH still calls her for medical advice as he is currently experiencing heart issues.
