Do you really split every single agreed upon cost?

| Not your business, really. They decided on that, they are the parents. |

Well, ultimately this is up to your DH. I'd be hesitant to raise it as an issue, even if it's annoying, because I wouldn't want the kid to feel like they're a burden or causing a disruption.
I guess you could either get an account that is only used for that child's expenses and all three of you can use that card when buying him stuff. Or you could offer to give Mom $200 or whatever and have her keep track and ask when she needs more. She seems responsible and organized, so perhaps that would work and keep the tedium from you and your DH. |

Splitwise. Problem solved.
Also, what's your problem with it? Seems like you are more threatened by the frequency of contact between your DH and his ex. We're you by chance the OW? |

Well, it does become OP's business when it's a large financial issue (in the thousands). that said, I agree, leave it to them. If OP's DH is willing to deal with the minutiae of sending receipts, then fine. My ex and I agreed to anything less than $25 just becomes absorbed by the parent forking over the case. Too much to track., |

It’s petty, stupid, and a waste of time. She’s looking for $2.50. Why would anyone want to have that much contact? Also, my (now ex-)husband cheated on me and I never accuse people of being the “OW” just because they are annoyed by something that is ANNOYING. Get over it, you just sound bitter. Get out of that mindset and move on. |
