Stressed out momma v/s I tell him what I really think about his father... I think the stressed out momma is the lesser of the two evils. DH and I are using part of our stimulus money for a vacation this summer. We reserved and put a deposit down about 2 months ago.... If we'd have waited until this month, we probably wouldn't go at all. Cash is getting very tight. We had Last Friday last week... it is a town wide festival... lots of free activities and booths of all kinds once a month... anyways... I couldn't afford to let the kids get ANYTHING that costs money... balloons... face painting... etc because I didn;t have the cash... I had to pay the mortgage with that week's pay. I have 28.00 in my checking account right now.

I did talk to my caseworker about the delay... she has sent threatening letters... there is not much she can do until court.

The situation is unfair... lol... I feel like a two year old stamping my foot. But honestly there is nothing more I can do. I know I am not the ohly parent who has to deal with irresponsibility in the other parent. And luckily Son is kept out of the middle for the most part.... But this sucks just as much as any other issue I;ve seen on here. On other posts I've been blasted for *gasp* expecting his father to be financially responsible.
