I am having this issue right now too.
It is SO expensive to put a child in daycare, even if it's just partial days.... I couldn't believe it when I checked into it either! CONGRATS to you for getting a friend to do it for you.
I had a friend watch my kids too while I worked but my XH got wind of it and even though it was saving him a lot of money, OW called DSS and reported her for watching my then infant daughter and 2 other toddlers. Apparently you can't do that if you don't have a daycare center. So that was the end of that. Even though she was taking SUCH good care of my kids and the other one's.... she just wanted to get back at me so that's what she did....
Anyway, I was thinking about asking my X for help with back to school clothes and supplies too. Thing is, I don't think he will pay anything extra because he is paying me child support and he "doesn't have any money". I feel funny about it too, but at the same time, the money they "have" to give us just barely supports food and shelter, let alone additional things like school clothes, picture day and supplies... ya know?
So I think we shouldn't feel funny about asking for help.
Hugs to you,
