[quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here firstly seems none of you have teenage daughters. A shopping trip to American Eagle can cost 500 dollars. What's wrong with him spoiling DD? Child support he gives me covers her room costs- rent broken down by room, cost of food. Step mom works and so its not like the burden of the new baby is just on him. To just start reducing her birthday money was harsh. He put money into her savings account and made her use that towards her driving. Now she has no savings. And he started asking me for receipts for when I request things like gym membership. Now don't tell me that isn't rude?! 
I've always let him visit but have always said he needs to do it around what she has planned - for example he will fly in for a few days and says in hotel. He picks her up takes her shopping, movies whatever if she has something planned with her friends as its the holidays he needs to respect that. I wanted to supervise visits when she was younger because she is used to mom. [/quote]

OP, I have three teen daughters and if I had alienated any of them from their dad the way you have systematically done, I am 100% certain that they would eventually resent me.  You should be prepared for that, because you have made it impossible for your DD to have an independent, healthy relationship with her dad.  I can't understand how your conscience isn't killing you.  Your DD's dad is not rude because he is finally standing up to you and not letting you hold his daughter hostage in exchange for monetary favors he provides.  In fact, he has become the sympathetic character in this story.  You don't seem to care about anyone but yourself - surely if you had your DD's best interests in mind, she would have a much closer relationship with her dad.  Your ex is not your ATM.  Start providing the financial support to your DD that ALL parents are responsible for (and not just dads).[/quote]
