I text BM!!

Okay so BM keeps demanding more money off FDH (on top of the maintenance he pays) and now says that I should give her money towards SS. She also says that we shouldn't be going on holiday or moving out (we moved in together from our parents last month)

I text her telling her to keep my name out of it as I don't appreciate it. That SS is not my responsibility financially apart from the food and toys I pay for when he is with us.

BM didn't react well at all. Said she doesnt understand why I text her. I said that I text her because she brought up my name and that she thinks she can dictate when me and FDH go on holiday, move out etc (which irritates the hell out of me).

So how many of you would get involved if BM was mentioning your name? Should I have just risen above it?

She involved you so yes I would have done the same. Your dh pays cs so id tell her no to anything extra on top. The bloody cheek of em

I heard that in some states in the US the chid support agency actually do count the income of the SM! They changed the rules here in UK a few years back. Now they don't include them.

It is absolutely ridiculous that a SM should have to pay. I would definitely not have let myself get involved with a single dad if that was the case!

It's not counted for child support. but what pissed me off is that it IS counted for state and federal programs. Free/reduced price school lunches, daycare assistance, ect ect make you put all adults living in the household and their incomes.

I don't get it either.

I also don't get why some SMs feel their DH's CS should be lowered or stopped if BM happens to marry a man with a high income.

No matter which side of the you're on, a SP's income should not come into play when figuring out CS.

What if SD doesn't want to support BDs kids?

It can't be one sided. If you look at SDs income, you have to look at SMs.

If your SD lived with you, would you want your income used to lower the amount CS BM paid? I sure as heck wouldn't.

BM doesn't work and never has. Yet thinks I owe her my hard earned money!? She thinks everyone owes her something!

I disagree....had my ex husbands bitch txt me once....told me to leave her 'partner' alone and some other bullshit....

Didnt make me laugh at all...made me think twice the next time I thought I had the right to call my ex for CS....which he is still in arrears....

I honestly think this is the sort of stuff we all need to consider doing to shut the weirdo's up as they bullshit on about us to their ex spouses all the time....and think they can as they think they can get away with it...and....our DH's say nothing...well nothing that will take affect to shut them up for good....

ONLY WOMEN CAN SHUT OTHER WOMEN UP ONCE AND FOR ALL....

Oh I definitely would have personally shut her down. There is no reason for BM to be talking about me or my money. No.reason.at.all. DH would have shut her down as well. At the end of it all, BM would have no doubt as to my non-participation in her and her kid's financial life.

She is totally flabbergasted that I dare even think of texting her (apparently it has nothing to do with me and I can't control what she says to my FDH).

I'm sorry, I thought if my name was mentioned it had something to do with me?! How stupid of me!! Also she wants my money but doesn't want to talk to me about it?

She says I dont know her so why am I texting her, she doesn't know me but she can ask for my money, tell me when I can move out, go on holiday etc...the irony just absolutely kills me!

You just can't argue with these stupid b**chs .

Everyone's situation is different. I will no longer text BM. I have made the mistake of getting into with her through text message before. Once for bringing me up in an argument, because she had done that repeatedly, and once because she sent me a text first. I have learned that it only causes more drama and that she feeds off of it. My way of dealing with it now is to ignore her and pretend she doesn't exist. My DH has gotten to the point where he does a good job putting her in her place all on his own.
