My SD's mom dropped her off from having her from the weekend and tells my SO she needs to talk to him. They have been divorced for 2 years and she's supposed to be paying child support because he has custody. She hasn't paid anything and we didn't ask because we just didn't want to start problems over a few dollars a month. So she says she wants him to change the divorce papers and sign something saying he wont get mad and try to make her pay the back child support she hasn't paid yet. Not offer to pay, or anything like that. Just things she shouldn't have to pay. We really don't need her money but it would be nice to have the extra cash especially since we now have 2 kids to pay for. For me it's the point of it. I guess I'm just upset because I'm doing all the work to raise her child but she gets the title of mom, she gets to go to the parent teacher conferences and things like that and has to do nothing. It's all fun and games for her but when Jay is sick I'm the one here holding her hand, helping her with her homework, washing her clothes and making her meals. AHHHHHHH it's just so frustrating. If she would just make and offer. I understand if she can't afford much, but she doesn't offer anything, and even got an attitude one day about how she always has to drop her off and pick her up! WHAT!? Ok I'm done. I just needed to get it out. i guess I have to look at the things I get to do, and not the things I have to do right? It's better than having her only here in the weekends if the situation were reversed. So I'll just shut up and be thankful
