[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4200 a month is not a lot!!! How the heck is he bank rolling anything???? That's basically what I made when I was a teacher with no kids!!! That's not a ton of money so I'm confused why you are so upset by this? Is his daughter not worth a measly teacher salary? I thought you said he was a high earner? If so then that's a bargain! You're putting a lot of blame on the mother. It's really sad. Of course it's a we! It doesn't matter that they aren't in a relationship they made that baby together! I think she was being nice including him. I think rather than be so concerned about your brother paying child support you should be concerned with the fact your brother isn't there for his daughter and she obviously has a horrible aunt! Disgusting![/quote]

NP here but child support is post tax so yeah $4,200 is a ton of money especially when it doesn't include any daycare expenses.  We're happily married but we don't spend anywhere near that much on our own child on a pre or post-tax basis.[/quote]

I agree it is a lot but it isn't enough for a SAHM mom of two to be living large on in the DMV. I mean certainly comfortably, but its not like she's vacationing on yachts with a nanny.[/quote]
I agree you can't live large on this but the thing is that OP's brother is NOT responsible for maintaining her. He is responsible for child support, which he pays, and it's way more than most moms receive.  It's her choice to stay home and treat child support as her only source of income.  Child support is meant to supplement her income, not replace it.   With two school-aged kids, she certainly isn't chained to the nursery.  Plus only one of these kids is OP's brother's, so why are that kid's expenses his problem? Mom needs to get a job. [/quote]
