I am a divorced NCP of three kids. I am only allowed by the court to see them every other weekend. My ex gets a huge CS check each month of 3k. Yet, my daughter each month says things like "Dad its your turn to get me new shoes." That always makes me so angry because she is getting so much money. Lately, I thought about it and said to her, "If I get you new shoes they are going to stay at my apartment for when you come to visit."

How do other NCP's handle this?

Wow. Your turn to get me new shoes?
I am always afraid to ask my father for such stuff. And now i paid my shoes from my pocket money.
My parents are divorced too.
My father pays for me. I hate to ask him for such stuff

I know right. My sister's best friend's parents were divorced. Her father gave her credit cards and whatever else she wanted. Now she has changed her last name back to her mother's. I'm like wow.. what an ungrateful little bitch.

@NoDaveParty: i don't think that it is only about money and so.
Maybe she had a better relationship to the mother

@NoDaveParty: Massive case of alienation by the mother. The daughter will get angry someday and resent her mom. But giving the kids a creditcard and whatever they want is NOT good parenting. Not giving them what they want is GOOD PARENTING. And Yeah I failed at that at times.
