hey, I lurk/post some on my local nest board, and just found out about this board! I've been a single mom for 3 years, exbf ended the relationship and asked me to leave when our youngest was 6 weeks old. I scooped up my babies, got a better job, bought a house, just got an even better job, and just filed for child support last month because he got another girl pregnant. (we had an informal CS agreement where he paid for half of daycare, and that's it.) He chooses to see his kids just 2 overnights a month, though he lives 15 minutes away, and could pick them up from school any day of the week and spend time with them. They adore him though, and he's a good dad, when it's convenient for him.
So now my CS has doubled, I can put the kids in activities, my new job rocks and I can do house projects now, I'm dating a really great guy with a sweet 7yr old, and I'm happy!
