[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my ex pays me $500 per month per kid.  I would *never* do what your ex is doing.  A parent should never try to make the kids feel bad about their dad (or mom).  What the mom is saying to them is, "you could have that hairdo if your dad loved you enough to pay for it".  Thus planting the seed that "dad doesn't love me".  It's a very wrong, very bad thing to do.

I would have dad talk to the kids directly about what he can afford to contribute to extra curriculars beyond CS.  Give each child a budget for extras.  Want $60 for your hair do?  That's three months of your "$20 a month of non-school related costs" or what have you.

Put the kids on a budget for HIS money (non child support/court ordered money that is) and let THEM negotiate how it is spent with mom.  [/quote]

Agree with this post. I actually don't think the biological mom is a very good mom if she's making such manipulative comments. What a despicable, hurtful thing to do.[/quote]

+2 The problem here is that the biomom sounds manipulative. I don't know WTF all this hate is for the stepmom who sounds like she's doing a lot for the kids.

OP, I think you're a victim of "OP syndrome," where everyone jumps on a poster just to be contrary. If someone posted here that they couldn't understand why their kids' stepmom was upset that she sent them over there with lice and never mentioned it, DCUM would crucify her as a horrible parent.[/quote]
