We don't know the circumstances. We don't know if OP can afford it or not. We also don't know how often these extras come up.
My ex was hitting me up for extras on a nearly weekly basis. Fortunately, I could afford it and was able to pay for all of them.

If s/he is asked to pay for additional items, s/he can, but doesn't have to. And there are good reasons why someone might not.I thought that the OP was mom?
