More Money?

Well I went to sign the younger girls up for cheering on Saturday, which cost us $55, and find out that the Ex owes $53 from last years cheering. And if its not paid by Tuesday then she can't learn the material for Saturday's tryouts. I mean come on....when is it going to end? The weekend before I paid $50 for baseball for the two boys.

The ex gets $900 a month in child support plus we pay for 95% of all extras. Including monthly payment for my stepsons instrument, my other stepsons guitar lessons, every time they need shoes or winter coats. We will be the one to buy my stepsons baseball shoes and glove. Every year we have to buy it. I'm just fed up. I know that he has to support his kids but let me make that perfectly clear....WE DO.

So the whole reason I am posting about this tonight is my good ole husband gets mad at me becasue I told my step daughter to put the note in her bookbag for her mom about the money and that they needed by Tuesday in order for her to practice. Well guess what?? She didnt put it in her bookbag. So I tell my hubby ane he tells me to deal with it. I don't think so. What I say around here to his kids don't matter so why should I be responsible for this? He said it was my fault I should have made sure she put it in her bookbag. Come on I tell an almost 10 year old and they can't follow thru. NOT MY FAULT!

He just ticks me off!! He just thinks that we can hand out money like it grows on trees. It's not in the budget this week. Why doesnt he understand that she is just as responsible for those kids as he is? He thinks because I don't work outside the home and that he is the one that brings home the money then he has all the say. Well I pay the bills and I know that it's not in our budget. His ex just leaves it unpaid so that he will feel guilty and pay it. He'd rather make me mad then fight her and make her mad. IT'S BULL!!

Well I guess I'm done ranting tonight. Just another bump in the road of a blended journey.
