EXCUSE ME .... that you've only had 1 increase in 10 years. Come on ... the cost of raising a child has gone up in 10 years. You've gotten lucky here.
That's because I PAY FOR EVERYTHING.EXCUSE ME .... that you've only had 1 increase in 10 years. Come on ... the cost of raising a child has gone up in 10 years. You've gotten lucky here.
You know...Instead of whining about how unfair this order is...you should be counting your lucky start that Mom has never gone after an increase. By all rights this should be your THIRD modification!! You have saved TONS of money! Stop complaining!Well, I hope she doesn't ask to tell you the truth and so far so good. She didn't ask why I couldn't take her to the fair this weekend (which I do every year).
you need to get over that. Honestly. or you will be a miserable person and it will effect you in your every day life as a father and a husband.You know, in reflection of my last post, I am probably going to be paying a lot of the same money I made in the past, only instead of going directly to my daughter it is going to improve the lives of her mom, mom's boyfriend and sisters. Is it fair? I guess you could look at it that way but sorry if I don't.
And this is somewhat satifying until I think about it from my daughter's PoV.Guess then that mamma is gonna find that her increase isn't as much as she thought!
You're right and I'm already feeling like I might need some counseling.you need to get over that. Honestly. or you will be a miserable person and it will effect you in your every day life as a father and a husband.
And there's nothing wrong with that.You're right and I'm already feeling like I might need some counseling.
Yes, she is working full time. I think people are getting pretty sick of this thread but to clarify my point...And there's nothing wrong with that.
The reality is either you and/or your wife are going to have to get supplemental income (unless your state is one of those that would include THAT too). Is your wife already working fulltime?
Stop doing that.My mom and I (used to) buy all her clothes, school stuff, furniture, sporting equipment, CD's, etc.
Simply that you now must pay more money to help support her and you can not afford to take her to do the things she used to do. You dont really owe your child an explanation anywaySpeaking of, what do I tell my oldest when she wonders why I can't do and buy the things I used to for her?
Its not fair, but its also not YOUR fault. Now your ex will have to provide all those things for your daughter. You dont have to pay for a THING outside of the court order. So dont.You know, in reflection of my last post, I am probably going to be paying a lot of the same money I made in the past, only instead of going directly to my daughter it is going to improve the lives of her mom, mom's boyfriend and sisters.
