[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My step daughter stays with us more frequently in the summer. Her mom mentioned she has tutoring 2x a week in the summer. Dh didn't realize this and asked about the cost. Her mom said "It's rather expensive so I didn't want to ask you to split it. I really think it's worth it and I don't mind." I'm thinking ok great. Dh plans on asking the tutor directly and pay her on "pur day" , thus splitting the cost. I am annoyed bc we already gave her mom 1300 dollars this summer when splitting camps. I think to spend thousands of dollars during the summer on a 11 yr old is insane. I asked if TH wants to drop the day she's here and just let her mom pay for the day she goes with her and he "isn't interested in altering her schedule."  This woman gets a ton of money from us and I'm frustrated when she isn't asking for.any we still give her some. It's all on DH and he just doesn't see my PIC. He claims once our toddlers are older I will just realize how much more expensive kids get. :( no winning from me.[/quote]

Daughter was their first.

Mom did not ask dad for money.

If dad wants to step up to the plate, man up and be a father, you should encourage him and be proud of him keeping a good relationship with his daughter and being fair to his daughter's mom.

$1300 spent on his child over the summer is a reasonable amount.

You chose to marry a man with a child. You need to support him in letting him make choices that benefit this child.

She was here first.

She comes first.
