BM spending our money

Just had to vent to someone. It is bad enough that she hoses us for a full custody payment, when BF has 50/50 custody. Today she thinks it is ok for her to place an order for pictures for us $40 for school pictures. Now I know $40 isn't exactly breaking the bank, but for a couple who is just finally breaking even with both of us having to get better paying jobs to pay all the bills $40 extra is more than nothing, especially without even a phone call or email confirming this is ok. Go figure.

Tell her you didn't order those - you had no idea they were even available - and she'll have to pay for them or cancel the order. Then contact the school and find out if you can still order your own package of pics if you want them. That's very presumptuous of her...

Have her pay half otherwise you won't come up with yours. That way the pics can be divided up evenly and there won't be any confusion. Or if you pay the whole 40 you keep the whole package. Point Blank.

HELL NO

I would never pay this....Make her cancel - you can call the photo company as I do every year - and usually buy a package half that cost.

I bought the kids photos on disk this year so I could email them to family and Walmart so everyone could have the sizes and the amount they wanted and this was only 20 bucks.

This is a very bad presidence for her to set

Oh no if you want to order pics do it yourself.

Tell her cancel if she can, order a smaller package. Tell her next time to send a order form over--you can manage to pick out your own package.
