[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Guys, I don't denigrate ex-DH and his wife to my DS.  I teach him to be respectful, I encourage him to have a relationship with his father and his new siblings.  I don't discuss their finances or my finances with DS; he can see for himself that both of our households are different.  He is friends with kids from various backgrounds, he's not sheltered.  But no one but his stepsiblings and his stepmom calls him "our little rich boy."  It's like they are blaming him for growing up in a stable home.  I didn't steal that money, I didn't inherit it, I earned it fair and square.  By making fun of him and calling him "spoiled", they are also questioning me as a parent.  Yes, I think I made better choices in life than ex-DH and his new wife.  But I kept my mouth shut because he's DS father and I was brought up to respect my parents. They are crossing the line.[/quote]

You did the right thing by emailing the ex.  The only thing you can do is go to court and get it court ordered but he's not going to follow the order so you are wasting your money.  Just remember there is a reason why he is your ex.   Just teach your son to ignore them when they make comments.  Or, say, Yes, I'm very proud of how well my mom has done.  She works really hard.  I appreciate everything she does for me.  Stop with the gifts.  Its nice of you but stop.[/quote]
