[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m quick to jump on men who suck, but honestly you may displacing anger here. This particular issue actually can be solved with the free khan academy tutorials. I know it’s less efficient than a 1-on-1 tutor and definitely requires more motivation by your DC, but tons of kids don’t have expensive prep (even though it feels like they all do). 
There also inexpensive prep. You can do the larger classes or online groups. Maybe that’s the compromise?

This, 💯.

OP: “Ex H didn’t want to pay for SAT prep for our son because “he should just be able to do it himself online” and
“ I was counting on a strong SAT score to increase his options. I underestimated how many kids around here prep, but without his dad on board I couldn’t swing it on my own financially.”

Also OP:

He goofed around all summer even tho OP agrees that ex H was right in that he cld have self studied.

OP has known all summer kid had a 1320from the last attempt, that she believed he cld improve, that kid was wasting time this summer, that ex wasn’t going to pay for a share of prep, that when ex said kid could self study for free she agreed that was “technically true,” and yet…

It is not all ex’s fault bc “without his dad on board” she couldn’t swing it on her own financially.

Then she also blamed the system.

OP: stop dogging your ex for everything, stop placing blame where it doesn’t belong (the system and ex).

Agree. If DC can get themselves to sports and work they can study for an hour or two a day. Op just keeps making excuses to blame the ex-DH. Time is not a privilege - we all make sacrifices. You should have stipulated that DH pay half for college in your divorce- then college choice would not matter. Seems like you are bitter and letting it affect your DC, too. Prioritize your DC over bashing your ex. Discipline your DC- no car or video games unless you study. [/quote]
