Wow...Dude, I haven't been called that for years. LOL!Dude, I know. That's why what I said wasn't an accusation - just a reminder. It SOUNDS like that's why you're doing it - THAT is what you need to get a grip on - the PERCEPTION.
I've read your other threads. I would probably be in jail right now if I were in your shoes. But you've GOT to make sure you only put out 'FOR THE KID' type energy and vent the anger at the ex elsewhere.
Well once her mother was running from man to man (while we were divrced but seperated) and my daughter was staying w/ her just as unfit grandmother. I picked her up for a visit, and didnt take her back. Had her for almost 2 months and her mother returned...pressed kidnapping charges on me. Daughter was in preschool, and comfortable for once. Had to take her back and turn myself in.If all of those things were true, and this was my child, there is no way in hell that she'd be with mom. We'd be in another state using fake names if that it what it took to keep her away.
I won't, because I can't do it all... but it KILLS ME! I want my daughter to have nice things. She'll just go to Catholic Charites and they'll but them. Man, she has NO SHAME!Don't buy the school supplies.
I always like to THINK "only do what you're ordered to do" for most stuff, so people don't end up getting run over....however, when it comes to the kids is where I always have a hard time with the follow through, I would buy the supplies, at walmart, all the supplies together are gonna run about 20-25 dollars, and then kiddo has what she needs, to chance sending her without, in my opinion, does the child a disservice....keep documenting and saving the receipts for court.....maybe even see if you can get mom to make all future requests in writing via email**************it just always bothers me to think of kids going without or struggling in school cause their parents (and certainly in this case MOM) can't get their act together and do the right thingI won't, because I can't do it all... but it KILLS ME!

Last year daughter went 3 months w/ no PE shoes. I bought all supplies, didnt know she needed gym shoes. Mom wouldnt buy them, she played in her socks for months before she came her crying that kids were making fun of her. Went to Wal-mart spent like $10-$15, said and dont.
Me too. If one of you (in this case, mom) can't pull their head out of their a$$ long enough to think about what's best for the child, then the other parent (that's you) needs to do it twice as much to pick up the slack.it just always bothers me to think of kids going without or struggling in school cause their parents (and certainly in this case MOM) can't get their act together and do the right thing
