And your ex has some audacity to take credit for something he knows he didn't do.LakiSwirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229099420127310752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207910476925990181.post-57246348195286931212012-06-26T09:03:56.371-04:002012-06-26T09:03:56.371-04:00I agree that children shouldn't be spoken to a...I agree that children shouldn't be spoken to about "grown" matters like child support. When I was younger, my mom talked to me about all the money that my dad never sent, and now that I'm older, I resent her in a way because of that. Kids should be kids, and the parents should settle whatever issues they have on their own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207910476925990181.post-77974265214486244782012-06-25T14:24:13.436-04:002012-06-25T14:24:13.436-04:00ExactlyExactlyDianaBosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13288601023447478452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207910476925990181.post-69269755872257308682012-06-25T14:23:52.669-04:002012-06-25T14:23:52.669-04:00Well it's really none of his business. He'...Well it's really none of his business. He's 7. He knows his father pays child support. But he isn't able to understand the concept. And he shouldn't be made to. He's 7. He will begin to be able to understand things on his own as he gets older. And mind you. I was with this man for 9 years where he paid for Nothing. Not even his own car payment. I paid for everything. Every bill every expense every meal. He has paid child support for 6months. Before that I had to beg him for $175/month for half of aftercare at which point he laughed and said "Go to child support" So I have yet to feel that his contribution deserves any significant recognition.<br /><br />His father's actions are becoming apparent to him which is why he most likely asked why he never buys him anything. Nothing for his birthday. Nothing for Christmas. He doesn't come to graduations, basketball games. He doesn't call him. He doesn't initiate visitation. When I say "you haven't talked to your son in 2 weeks" he says "He could have called me. It works both ways." My son is 7. He shouldn't be responsible for the father son relationship. <br /><br />His child support basically covers enough for aftercare. It's not enough to even be half of my son's expenses. He really doesn't deserve credit for the basics. I don't get special credit from my son for basics.DianaBosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13288601023447478452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207910476925990181.post-14659746621793609682012-06-25T14:10:30.033-04:002012-06-25T14:10:30.033-04:00He totally out of line to say something to him lik...He totally out of line to say something to him like that.

I wonder though, what do you tell your son about his father's contribution? Cause the child support does cover some things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
