[quote=Anonymous]My ex-DH is now married to a woman who chose be a SAHM.  Money is tight in that family, they are coupon clipping.  I, on the other hand, have a well-paying job and only 1 kid to support, therefore, I am able to afford certain "luxuries" for just the two of us.  This includes trips around the world, clothes that are not from Walmart, good quality toys, extracurricular activities.

Last night DS got home from his Dad's house all upset.  He said his stepsiblings kept calling him "rich boy" and his stepmother said a couple times "well, I know OUR Christmas gifts are not to your liking since your mom spoils you and get you all this expensive stuff."  DS is a kind and generous boy.  Every time we go on vacation, he insists we buy gifts for his stepsiblings and his stepmom.  He has never come to their house empty handed, may it be a pie or a toy for their little one.  They are clearly jealous,  and yes, I know how childish it sounds.  
DS and I live in our own home, ex-DH and his family rent a house because they can't afford mortgage.  But it was THEIR choice!   Her kids are now in school, if she wanted to bring an extra income, she could find a job. I just always thought that our finances were none of her business.
