[quote=Anonymous]OP, my ex pays me $500 per month per kid. I would *never* do what your ex is doing. A parent should never try to make the kids feel bad about their dad (or mom). What the mom is saying to them is, "you could have that hairdo if your dad loved you enough to pay for it". Thus planting the seed that "dad doesn't love me". It's a very wrong, very bad thing to do. I would have dad talk to the kids directly about what he can afford to contribute to extra curriculars beyond CS. Give each child a budget for extras. Want $60 for your hair do? That's three months of your "$20 a month of non-school related costs" or what have you. Put the kids on a budget for HIS money (non child support/court ordered money that is) and let THEM negotiate how it is spent with mom. [/quote]
