Nice to know where your priorities are BM.

So, BM likes to give us sob stories about how she can't afford to pay all of $124 a month in child support and that she doesn't have money to get SD any birthday or Christmas presents and tries to get us to give her money.

I find it really interesting that she can't scrape together the cash to get her daughter a birthday present but she has the money to buy a new car. Granted, it's a Nissan Cube, it's not like they are all that expensive, but still.

I do not want to hear her bitch about kicking in for SD's skyrocketing medical costs if she can afford a new car.

Oh she totally would. Of

Oh she totally would. Of course, when she picked him out she knew what she was doing. She knew damn well he didn't have the backbone to stand up to her and he would never pull something like that. He is still driving his 1999 Chevy Blazer and he makes good money too.

Back when BM had custody of SD he was paying $500 a month in child support and still paid her daycare which was about $700 a month and gave her money for groceries and who knows what all else. Meanwhile, he was paying her so much money he couldn't heat his house and ended up having to walk away from it.

He is slowly getting better about standing up to her but it is a long road.

I have the KIA Soul, too.

I have the KIA Soul, too. Not a bad car for the (very little) money, and a great warranty. Mine is Alien Green.... it's actually kinda cute.

I love that Kia Soul

I love that Kia Soul commercial. The Cube, not so much. Weird and ugly.

I just saw one this morning and thought, "What the hell is that ugly thing?". Yep, was a Cube.

I drive a Jeep Patriot. I like it for the most part but I do feel there are a couple design flaws.

I have a monster Pathfinder.

I have a monster Pathfinder. SO thinks I look funny driving it since I'm so short. It's horrible on gas but I've got gobs of kids to drive around. I bought it used with a payment I could afford even if child support went away tomorrow. Makes me happy, it was the first big thing I did on my own after my divorce.
