I'm sick of being broke and my husband working himself to death trying to make up for the child support bill he has to pay with every check. I'm pregnant so I know getting a job right now is not going to happen but I also have 2 older kids and need some advice on what all I can possibly do to help financially. DH prefers me not work but I'm tired of not being able to see him because he is busting his ass to take care of his family with me.

DH and MIL got into it over me and SS. DH works Monday thru Saturday and then works a second job so I don't have to work especially right now with me being pregnant and well MIL and DH got into it because they talked about BM² offering to let SS stay with us for 2 weeks and DH said no it wouldn't be fair because he is never home except on Sundays and that it wouldn't be fair to me because I struggle with the 2 we already have right now because I'm pregnant and he thinks adding SS would only stress me out more.

I had no idea of the double standard in TX until I got with DH. That it's ok for women to have multiple babydaddies and not work but the father's have to "man up" and pay child support while the mother can actually sit at home and not do anything but cyberstalk her child's stepmom and the law will not do anything about it. OH and let's not forget the mom's who wait several years to get a DNA test (or flat out leave the state and go into hiding for a few years) and then have the audacity to ask for back child support!

I had a long talk with MIL the other night and it turns out back when DH was dating BM² she had told everyone she had her tubes tied and couldn't get pregnant! DH believed her and so did MIL and well the b*tch lied because ironically after 4 years of not getting pregnant she "magically" got pregnant after DH broke up with her.
