[quote=Sabrina55][quote=Sabrina55][quote=Anonymous]I posted before, but working adults in the household generally should be 50/50 contributors.  Whose kids are whose don't matter. This percentage can be changed if someone is making significantly more or less.

Now, if I had kids and was living with a fiancé who was not their father, I would expect to pay kid stuff like clothing, helath insurance, field trips, big Christmas presents, etc.

Which begs the question, was he one for buying gifts? Did he buy you things? Your kids?

That guy has some SERIOUS issues with money. I wonder what his childhood was like....[/quote]

He bought me gifts for occasions, I bought all the gifts for the kids and put both our names on it. He bought them one gift each EVER, years ago and that was as a thank you for them helping rake one of his houses and he gave them a dollar for every bag they filled. I NEVER EVER expected him to pay for kids clothes, activities, health related stuff. [/quote]

One of the sweetest things I can remember, our first Christmas together, my son brought his own money to school without even telling me and bought him Football Glasses of the team he likes, from the school fundraiser and surprised him with his own gift. [/quote]
