What Would You Do?

A father pays $709 in child support! The mother asks him to go half on a birthday party. Is he wrong if he says "NO" ?! 🤔👀

Thoughts??

say no. if it is not in the court order, f~~~ her and the birthday party.

you want half for the party, take me to court. lol Court is $1000 an hour.

you know the c~~~ will tell the kid…well I was gonna rent you a pony, a giant castle bounce house and a cotton candy machine, but Daddy didn’t want to pay for it, so here is your cup cake I got at the gas station. Daddy doesn’t care about you and making your birthday special. Daddy is a bad man. Remember that, Daddy is a bad man. Say it with me, Daddy is a baaaaad man.

Absolutely not. The party is her decision and the invited guests are those that she chooses. This party will be an event to show how relevant SHE is to her peer group and has nothing to do with her son.

Arrange and schedule a second birthday party for the son that will be more relevant and ensure that the father gets equal time with his son during a very special day. One on one time in a special place will allow for bonding and ultimately be worth much much more than a multi-participant party.

My ex would expect me to pay half for these ridiculous birthday parties for our two youngest. Sort of like keeping up with the Jones’.

I didn’t have to pay child support because we have joint custody, but I did have to pay for all after school care until age 12.

She has this well-to-do bff that has a lot of money because she married a surgeon.

Had to say no every time. When she asked why I would respond with;

1. Don’t want to be around you.
2. Don’t want to be around your parents.
3. Don’t want to be around you gold-digging bff.
4. Don’t want to be around a bunch of screeching kids I don’t know or care about.
5. Don’t want to be around you.

Don’t care I will never be in that situation.

I got a vasectomy.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

Jesus those hood rat replies are dumb as f~~~.

I’d like to see Tommy Sotomeyer’s take on this hoe

[Mr.BlueParticipant 614]

I don’t have kids but I would definitely not help with that. I would Rather take the kid to do something fun rather than send money for a party that will include a lot of white-knights telling the mom how great she is for throwing the party all on her own. You go girl….

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

Have your own party. Or if your kid is old enough just ask them what they want to do for their birthday.

Nope, he already paid his “half” which was $709.

It does seem like an opportunity for the mother to gather all her friends around and give herself props for raising a child by herself. She’ll ask the father to put up money but will still find a way to discount him in the raising of the child.

Children are simple people. They don’t ask for much. I’m willing to bet that if given the option of a party, or ice cream and a movie with dad, the child would pick the ice cream and movie. A party would only be filled with the mother and her friends all cackling like hens being bad influences around those kids.

I would be so p~~~ed about being divorce raped and shelling out way more $ than it takes for half of child expenses, I would not give one more dime to egg donor ever.

Needs new shoes? Nope, I already paid for them.
Needs fees for <insert activity here>? Nope, I have already paid them.
Money for your Bday party? Nope, I already paid.

Like above I would do something with the child separate of what cupcake does.

Why didn’t you write that in your original post?

Why is it always a case of you asking us for our thoughts instead of sharing your own?

I would tell her to f~~~ off and have my own party with the kid with her not around.

Anyway communication, real open communication, is not wanted or even required in a relationship. Women cannot handle fully open and honest communication, plus most perceive it as a weakness on the part of a man. All that is required is catering to her whims, and even then nothing is certain. There is no way to be sure of having a successful relationshit with a woman. MGTaoist

My thought exactly. She already uses the money however she wants. If that’s on a birthday party, so be it.

[sidecarParticipant 35837]

If he were the one hosting the party instead of her, ordering the cake, buying the invitations, I don’t know, buying chairs for everyone (no clue here what goes on at kids birthday parties), would she think she was obligated to pay for half?

I didn’t think so.

He shouldn’t be paying any “child support” at all. So called “child support” should be solely paid by the custodial parent, and then only when that parent has custody.

[ResidentEvil7Participant 9540]

If I had a kid and I was in the same situation, I would of done nothing. She has her $709; she should put it towards the damn party herself. Face it, she’s going to make the father look like an asshole anyway. May as well save yourself the money.
