[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP--I'm the step mom to 2 kids.  The mom is being very fair by offering to pay the full cost of the tutoring.  Dad is also being very fair in offering to pay 50%.  That is his "share" even though she didn't ask for it.

What you're going to find is that some years some kids cost more money than others.  While there maybe a set monthly amount that your DH has to pay, chances are it doesn't cover 50% of the expenses.

If you can learn to view your SD as your child, you will feel less resentment about the money she "takes"[/quote]

Be thankful she's SPLITTING the costs with you. In our family, my DH routinely pays 100% of everything (including tutoring) because XW insists their son needs stuff but won't pay a dime. He is a sweet guy, a loving dad, (and a pushover) and he always end up paying the entire bill. I have decided not to make this a major source of misery, even though I personally wish he'd put his foot down and explain that if she feels it's so important, she should pay for half of it. But I think he'd rather be run over by a train than have to say those words to her...[/quote]
