asking for $300 for her birthday to spend on herself. She never says these things to him when they talk on the phone and he isn't "allowed" to see her (not a criminal thing, just her mom, but that is a complete other story in itself). She will be fifteen next week, I would have personally never dreamed of asking (then or now) any one for that amount of money for my birthday. He thinks that his ex put her up to it (rumor has it they may be losing their house and truck). I think that we could solve this by getting her a savings bond for $100-$150 for her birthday, that way A)her mom can't touch it and B)she will be able to spend it on herself, just not right away. That way we could "fix" who ever the money grubber (for lack of better words) is. We don't spend that amount on our other kids, I don't think he should be guilted into doing it for her (I am not against him buying her things, so please don't think I am the evil step-mom). What do you think, any other ideas? What would you do?
