Why can’t you just use your credit card?



Cash can be seen and touched and kids get that, usually at an early age,

I also recall several parents stating that as long as their kids are in school, they will continue to support them.

I took from that conversation that most people expect their kids to become responsible adults, regardless of where they live.

I don't buy trendy furniture so it cost a little more.

my hsuband's siser stopped fighting for c/s, blood turnip thing. her kids are grown now and did deserve it though..but i'm of the opinion that c/s belongs to children, the idea that mom ( or a dad ) uses it as a source of income to support her/his own lifestyle is incredibly selfish.

Well, my aunt did it. However, there was a good reason. Her dh refused to pay her alimony, but agreed to pay her triple CS instead. There was probably some tax or other legal reason. The money was meant to keep both her and the kids alive, although he still gave her grief about every cent, and kept two of the four kids to avoid having to pay for them.

Yep, ITA with you as being married to a child of a product of a divorce and c/s that has a loooong story to it but let's just say it was obvious that he did not get it.
