Background info: My boyfriend has a 7 year old son with his ex. He works full time at an ok job: low pay, but good benefits. His Ex (we'll call her "miss x") lives off a trust fund and doesn't have to work. He gets $400 towards child care from his work, but gives half to ex (so he pays for her weeks at the day care too). Problem is, we both have to work Sundays, when the day care is not open, and the $400 is already used up during the weekly childcare. So he has to pay for a nanny out of his own pocket on his Sundays. I think he should use his benefits for HIMSELF (since she doesn't have to work anyway) and give her what's left after he's paid for his childcare needs, including Sunday. What do you think?

Yes, she is a mommy, and my bf is a daddy. In fact, he used to be a stay at home dad. But he still has to work. Why should he have to do all the work and give her half the benefits and be broke, when she just gets to sit on all her wealth, and not contribute?

I agree. Miss X who is a spoiled little priss needs to get off her lazy butt and take care of the child or pay for the nanny out of her pocket. Poor guy!

This is tricky, Who has full custody? It sounds to me that the mom could keep the kid on Sundays to save the money. But I commend your boyfriend for caring so much about about his kid. Some guys/girls don't even see their kids. But this is probably harder on the kid than you are giving credit to. And after all isn't that who your trying to benefit here?

If this is botrhering just you and not your bf, then you shouldn't make it your business.
IF it's bothering him, he needs to go to the courts with this information.
She doesn't sound like much of a mom sending her kids off when she doesn't have to, and sits on her hinnie.

The child support isn't for the mother of the child, the child support is for the child HE helped create...HE has to pay for helping to create that child whether YOU like it or not.

Your boyfriend needs to look after his responsibility - his son by supporting him financially.

doesn't matter if it is fair or not, this is a decision between the parents, and not your concern. Honestly speaking.

Its not about the children or what's fair to your husband. It is about paying a mommy.
