[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] So leave the kid home all summer with mom? learning and growing how? Kids need to be around other kids to learn and grow. Most kids will be in camp b/c their parents are at work. Again, if DH's husband can afford it why not ? And how on God's green planet is this step mommie dearest business? [/quote]

Enough with the stepmommy dearest crap.  It IS her business.  Just like the boy's mom, this family likely has a budget too.  They likely have budgeted for child support plus the additional things that DH wants and plans to pay for.  Mom coming in with extra upon extra does impact OP and her husband's household budget and bank account.  Not to mention, if it's stressful for DH to deal with his ex (which it sounds like it is at least a bit), then that stress comes into their marriage.  That's how healthy marriages work, sharing of the good and the not-so-good.  [/quote]

OK. She knew there was a kid before she got married. If she didn't want to share the money she should not have wed him. Sorry. I'm all for divorce and second marriage  etc... But you dont just get the man. You get the baggage. All of the men I have ever dated with kids made it clear the kids were first. Now my child is first. She doesn't like it she needs to leave. And yes she sounds like a wicked stepmom. How dare real mom want to send kid to camp when she and DS can sit at home and stare at each other for 1/2 the summer. - PLeaze[/quote]
