[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you people are so anti single mom it’s insane. A lot of men don’t pay much in child support, doubtful op is getting all her bills covered plus gifts. Lol. [/quote]

Moms are responsible for 50% of the support of their kid also.

My response woukd differ based on the circumstances.   If he is paying cs, I would give my kid an accounting of where the cs money goes.  If itnwere spent on presents be honest.

If I work I would show still show my kid where is goes and explain what additional expenses I have.  [/quote]

Really, you’d show accounting to your 6 year old? I call hard BS on this and it would be ultra bad parenting to involve a 6 year old in such matters. [/quote]

I'm very honest with my children about money.  It's not a secret.  My teens know how much my mortgage is and know what things cost.  They know you have to work hard to live and we work hard to provide for them.  They know we dont borrow money from anyone but a bnk or mom and dad.

At 6 this would be a wonderful math lesson.  Daddy pays this, it costs this so this is what mommy pays (or vice versa).  You can make lessons age appropriate. [/quote]

Talking to a teen about money and borrowing is quite different than talking to a 6 year old about where all of the child support goes that dad pays. Don’t play dumbs now. [/quote]
