DH talked to SS and told him he would spend 1500 on a used car and that BM would have to pay for gas and insurance. But then SS goes on a rant on how unfair it is that our BS got a nicer car. And then he says how his mother cannot afford anything. He called my husband a jerk who could not even look after him. That he had to live in a dump. How kids made fun of him at school because of the clothes he wore. That we would not let him take clothes we bought him home with him. Can you blame us? We would never see those clothes again. He says that BS was given a much better life and that my DH loves BS more. This guilts DH enough to cave. He says he can put 9000 (!!!!) into the car and he'll pay for the insurance. SS says thats good. And they become chummy again. WTF? I am very angry. That money affects me too. I am really pissed. Why would he make such a promise?

That is insane - well guess what! DH better continue to open up his wallet. He son now knows all the buttons to push to get what he wants.

All I can say to stay of it and I hope you have separate accounts.

If my DH wants to get anything for his kids it comes out of his own pocket. He pays me a set amount out of paycheck every week. He knows better not deduct anything for his skids (who are older).

Ew. What a spoiled little whiney brat. I would have told him to get a job and save for a car himself.

That is the problem. We spent 7000 on BS's car and SS thinks he is entitled to that as well. It is actually more than what we spent on BS. Well, BS does not ignore me and respects me. SS has not been visiting regularly for 3 years and my DH had to beg him to come. I stopped working 6 years ago because of a disability. I am a stay at home mom. My DH makes the money. But it still affects me! My DH knows how angry I am. HeE better fix it.
