Woo's blog: "Steph's Musings...."

My ex husband got laid off from work. I agreed that I'd give him a break on part of the child support because he's not making as much, but told him he had to take our daughter more often to make up for the loss in daycare. Well, I was talking to him today and found out he's blowing like 2 hundred a week in gas money driving to and from his gf's house and in liquor. He has yet to help with taking our daughter as well. He seems to think I have no right to get angry with him. I can afford to pay mine and the kids bills on what I make, but it makes things really tight. I don't think its fair that I have to tell my son that we can't go see Bolt this weekend because daddy hasn't paid his child support because he has a new drinking problem. Maybe I'm way off base, but it isn't fair to the kids. They don't need to be indulged and lavished with gifts, but sheesh....I'd like to be able to do something fun with the kids. I shouldn't have to be so scared of my finances....
