That being said, it doesn't really bother me because my husband and I carry health insurance for him. I didn't even request that he pay half of everything in the order. I only asked that he pay half if it was over a certain ridiculous amount. For example, one time our out of pocket expenses for my son's braces was nearly $2,500, and I asked that he pay half of that. He did and everything was fine. I don't, however, ask him to pay EVERY SINGLE time I take my son to the doctor because it is my decision to take him to the doctor. The only thing I expect is for him to pay child support and be a father to his child and to treat him the way he's supposed to be treated.<br /><br />I'm sorry you have to go through this. Hopefully, more ex-wives will begin to adopt my point of view.<br /><br />*Kela*<br />www.blendedfamilysoapopera.comKelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263658648544612818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160979264029696253.post-28250723431246182922009-05-20T14:09:08.035-07:002009-05-20T14:09:08.035-07:00Our BM is a 'stay at home mom' too, and all of her...Our BM is a 'stay at home mom' too, and all of her kids are in school, she also complains that she has to pay for her portion of medical bills and feels that we 'chose' the plan to stick her with paying some of the bills... because the world ALWAYS revolves around BM's.<br /><br />* Love your comment about being like her when you grow up :} I say that too, only because then I could point the finger at everyone else and sit at home and get paid to do absolutely nothing *Mommy of 3https://www.blogger.com/profile/04456943100392005155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160979264029696253.post-85563346052902977592009-05-08T13:06:00.000-07:002009-05-08T13:06:00.000-07:00Agree to it all...and the countdown would be wonde...Agree to it all...and the countdown would be wonderfull...if only I didn't have 12 more years until the last one turns 18 :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160979264029696253.post-75848561420693672162009-05-07T23:17:00.000-07:002009-05-07T23:17:00.000-07:00"she has actually complained about the “fact” that..."she has actually complained about the “fact” that she has to pay for half of OUR family deductible."<br /><br />Wow! You would think she would be grateful just to have insurance at all.

I wouldn't mind her being a stay at home mom if she actaully did her job as a parent- shoot I'd do it if I had the opportunity...but this woman does everything within her power to avoid working to financially support her children. While they live in the basement of her parents house- she's off galavanting around with her boyfriend(s). Her mother doeas all the cooking and cleaning for them in the basement. It's truly sick.Stepmonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998942453485977127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160979264029696253.post-15100415598689540002009-05-06T11:50:00.000-07:002009-05-06T11:50:00.000-07:00Don't you just love the sense of entitlement?

She gave birth so she's entitled to sit on her butt, inflate expenses for unnecessary trips to the doctor, and punish dad for whatever wrong she perceives is occurring at the time. <br /><br />I have a countdown on my myspace page on when the legal relationship with the ex ends. I think I'm going to add one to my stepfamily blog too (www.stepfamilysanctuary.com). I'm going to go do that now while I'm thinking about it. :)Synhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18441103402571767420noreply@blogger.com
