I know many people have asked this before. BM sent us a bill for SD4 pre school saying it was $405. She is not working and gets a CS and alimony payment of $4200/mth (which is more than half DH's salary).
Do we have to pay 50/50 of the school fees inspite of paying CS?
Any help is appreciated!!!!

P:S: I am new to this and will be needing lots of support from you ladies!!!
I finally got counseling kind of scheduled. I called today and while she doesn't have anything open for the evenings she is putting me on her cancellation list to call. Hopefully it won't take too long. She requested that I start out coming alone. I guess she needs to assess the situation before involving DH. I'm just not sure I'm really going to be able to open up to her.
I know its not the reason, but I feel like a crazy person going to see a therapist...
But then, I guess I am going a little crazy with the way life is going.
Situation
BM over here has a phrase and independently of each other, DH and SD have both said to me, how BM uses the phrase to basically JUSTIFY anything she does, says, or wants. And that phrase is...
"But I'm the MOTHER"!!
laughing my arse off! Starfish stated " but, I LOVE this place-----makes me feel so much better about my situation when I read how absolutely terrible some of you have it-----my heart goes out to ya!" Honestly, I laughed my arse off...
My husband and I have been married for over two years. He has two teenagers 17 & 16. I have three 11, 7 & 5.
There have been ALL sorts of issues, which are totally normal behavioral things for kids. But this is where things veer off course.
My husband and I don't agree on how to parent his children. He wants to tell me how to parent mine. And I let him have a lot of input. But he is downright mean to them sometimes, he yells. A lot.
He's gotten physical with my eleven year old.
Stepmom to the middle child called us last night and stated that her mother-in-law said that the middle brother to my SS was urinating blood.
When the grandmother called BM and asked if she was going to take the child to get checked out BM said, I'll pick him up Friday..
FRIDAY?!
Stepmom said she's calling child services today, her husband [BM's ex] is out of state in Texas at the moment and she is livid..
I find it strange that my SS pees about 30 times an hour, when there's nothing left to even pee and now his brother is urinating blood..
Sometimes I just think it would be easier if something happened to my DH. Don't get me wrong--I love him dearly--he is my rock, my soulmate and we are working hard on our spirtual relationship w/God together. But I just want BM away. If my DH was to die, SD16 who brings so much turmoil, fighting, bad blood in our house right now could go live with BM (psycho) for good, and I could feel like my DH and I did all we could for her. And I would have NO reason to have any contact w/BM--she would get no CS from me and I could focus on raising my four Bio children.
Specially in the mornings. I'm trying to figure out why I'm having such a hard time dealing with the skids right after I wake up or anytime in the morning; I feel this huge block sitting on my chest every morning after I wake up and I'm lying in bed and I think that when I get out of bed today there are going to wake up in 30 minutes or so and there they will be ready to suck my energy away "good morning, how was your sleep? How are you feeling today?" I'm not a morning person and I just can't deal with so much in the morning.
Well, this is the place to vent, right? Good, because I sure need to vent. I'm so boiling angry, I'm going to blow a gasket! The youngest SD, age 35, is a lazy leech. She lives on her own (only because I won't let her leech off us) in welfare housing. She is a single mother of an 11 year old daughter. Over the years, we have helped her get a house, credit cards, paid bills for her, bought her food, bought clothes for her daughter, given her rides, babysat, etc etc etc and the list goes on and on. She has taken money and things from every one of her family and friends.
