Today was supposed to be "Good" Sunday.

Last week was bad Sunday and next week will be bad Sunday, but today was scheduled to be good Sunday. Was. Past tense. Bonus! Partner is so happy to get extra time with Ms. Pissy Pants.

Partner's ex is having a personal crisis with her step child who used to be a girl and is now a boy. Everything is high drama over there and she doesn't want her kids around it. It's all very interesting and modern, but at the end of the day, it's not a weekend I have agreed to endure these kids. This was supposed to be my good weekend.

I've decided she owes me a refund of child support every time we take the kids an extra day. They share weekends so that's a wash. Partner pays $800 a month. So that's 20 days a month or roughly $40 a day. Since that money is going to be garnished no matter what, not only do I want the $40 refunded by her in cash but I want her to may us (me) $40 for a day of child support. That's $80.

Maybe that sounds crazy of me but tell me where the flaw us in my logic. He pays her $40 a day to provide meals and shelter. Why shouldn't she?

Anyway I need my carpets cleaned as I'm pretty sure Miss Pissy Pants got a little too enthralled in her tablet while she was sitting on the carpet one day.

Good news: Partner read her the riot act and she's no longer allowed to bring her tablet over.

I can see the logic with your

I can see the logic with your refund idea, not that I think that’ll ever happen lol. Wondering why it would be you that’s due the refund though? Are you paying CS for your OH?

Does your OH regularly take extra time with his kids? If so, that’s an issue with him, not BM. How old is the SD with the peeing problem? Has she been seen by a doctor? I’d simply buy her pull-ups & tell OH I’m not living in a house that smells like urine, if she’s going to be here she’ll wear these until she can control her bladder.

Making her wear Depends all

Making her wear Depends all day long is definitely an idea. She's been seen by a doctor but I don't know what the deal is. To put it bluntly, I think it's obesity related.

I'm not paying his child support but he lives with me rent free so he can pay his support. He buys groceries now and then but he's definitely getting the better deal.

Don't ask me why I put up with it. I don't know.

You’ve got an OH problem.

You’ve got an OH problem. Have you considered counselling? Might be worth looking into why you’re staying with a guy when his drama causes you stress & he’s not even contributing financially. Where’s the benefit here for you?

So this grown ass man isn't

So this grown ass man isn't paying rent, utilities, purchasing food on a continuous basis... There's no way $800 a month for SEVERAL kids should leave a grown ass man broke.

You're complaing about BM and the kids when the man sleeping next to you every night is using you. Every Sunday could be a "good Sunday" and it wouldn't change the fact this man brings absolutely nothing to the table.

He's paying child support while you are paying HUSBAND support. Perhaps you should calculate how much he owes you and demand payment in full. And kick his useless butt out of your home.
