[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read a blog written by a woman who is newly divorced (like within the past 8 months or so) but has bad separation anxiety if she's apart from her 2.5 year old, so her ex husband bought her a house and basically gives her a living stipend each month to pay her bills and live on. She doesn't work, she stays home with her daughter and that's how she makes it happen. Not sure how long it'll last, but for now, she qualifies as a single stay at home mom.[/quote]

The mother has bad separation anxiety so she can live off her ex's money?? Tacky. Get a job.[/quote]

I'm that PP and I agree with you. I think it sets a bad example for her daughter. The way she spends the money puzzles me as well- she had a breakout last week and went to a dermatologist who prescribed her a face cream that was $300. She paid that, but then found a coupon that made it only $50 and got a reimbursement- but regardless, living on a fixed income that her ex-husband gives her, I couldn't believe she'd justify $300 face cream to bleach her skin. She's also now considering Botox. (She is 31 or 32, I forget which.) Overall she can be a very funny person and is entertaining and in many ways is a great mother to her daughter, but this "I can't even get a part time job because I can't be away from her" mentality is just teaching her daughter that if you're sad and pitiful enough, some man will pick up the slack and take care of you. I don't even want to know what will happen to her if the ex remarries or just decides he's no longer going to bankroll her lifestyle and gets the courts to order a specific amount of child support and pays only that.
