So, DH's XW is a total douche. We get along fine, but that doesn't mean I have to like her. I speak to the GF of XW's other baby daddy on ocassion. She informs me XW has asked her BF to help pay for Xmas gifts to give her kids. Now, I firmly believe both parents should be there physically and financially when it comes to a split home. However, she is asking he give money for the gifts she's going to give her kids in addition to the money he will spend on his son at his home. XW just recently moved into her new BF's house right after quitting her job. Guess what? If you quit your job right before the holidays, you're going to find it difficult to buy gifts for your kids. The reason this upsets me is because she's done this too many times before: moves her kids, quits a job, dates another guy, and so on far too often. DH gave her money one year, because she had no money to get them anything. He just kept XW's portion of tax refund the split. He won't do it anymore since she's a repeat offender. We have SD 50/50, so there's as much a financial responsibility on our part as hers. She pisses me off to the moon and back.
Thanks for reading. I can't share goodies, because I'm on mobile. My computer is broken!!!!!

Re: While I'm at it vent
I think he does. Other father told her she can ask her new boyfriend to help her. I think she was just trying to see of the dads would fork it out first before she had her boyfriend cough it up. My MIL and her mother chipped in on SDs birthday gift in the form of an iPod.
