[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom offered to pay for all the tutoring, is that correct? I would focus on getting DH to accept her generous offer, and not fuss about your stepdaughter getting camps and tutoring.[/quote]

Op here...yes this is what I mean. She offered and I wish he could just say thanks! She's a great student and her mom just wants to keep it that way. If she was struggling I would view it differently.[/quote]

Are you struggling? I just can't see how you could say to yourself "Damn, I hate that my husband offers to pay for half of his daughter's activities. . . Oh, but I expect him to pay for 100% of his OTHER childrens' activies, the children he has with me."[/quote]

Op to be fair I work and we earn almost the same (same gvt scale) So I contribute to the kids activities just as much.[/quote]

I'm curious how you work, and have children, and yet don't know that childcare is expensive.  [/quote]

This.  If half of summer is $1300, that means summer was $2600 total.  Over 10 weeks that's $260 a week.  That's way less than I spend on my own kids and frankly, you get what you pay for.[/quote]

NP here and that might be true, might not be true.  Summer care, like daycare, is usually split pro rata by income so if the ex makes significantly more his share could be lower.  Then again, if he makes more ExW may have paid more than her share.  Not enough facts in the post to know for sure.[/quote]

Except Dad may also be paying child support on top of all the extras and have to maintain a room/stuff/feed, etc. child during his time.[/quote]
