So I moved the kids into a closer, cheaper, more educational daycare. I am surprised they have made the transition so well. No tears or freakouts. :) But, while this daycare is cheaper, it requires I pay 1 month in advance to get such a great rate. Nothing like shelling out $1000 in one pop. :-/ And of course I have yet to receive any money from G, 3 weeks into him finally having a job. Last week he told me he would be able to pay $100 on Monday. Not much in the grande scheme of things but every little bit helps. I still haven't seen that money though. Let the emails begin: (PS he asked for another discount form for his mom to come out. But it isn't like I am going to deny my kids grandparent. *sigh*)

Here is the form for your mom.
Were you able to make that support payment you talked about? I just borrowed money from my mom for daycare costs and I would like to pay her back but with the electric going up and other bills I just don't know how to pay her more than a little each check and I am just going to have to borrow again in a month when I have to pay daycare again. I am kinda drowning here.

**He made a payment of $150. His obligation is $700/month PLUS paying 1/2 of the extra days the kids are in daycare.
This just makes me want to cry. You're having to borrow from others because he's failed to give you what he owes for his own children. He fails to provide for them, uses you constantly to do it and then you get left holding the bill over and over and over. I really think he sees giving you money as him doing you a favor or going out of his way to be a nice guy versus in other cultures he'd be so indebted to you he'd be your indentured servant until he paid up. It's so sad. You're awfully nice to provide the form for his mom. I know she's your kids grandparent but that doesn't mean you have to go out of your way to be nice to her. She raised a piece of shite for a son. I'd be as mad at her as I would be at him. But that's me. I don't know her or your situation as you do. I just think you're an awful damn nice person. I hate that these people use you like they do. You're doing a great job, Momma.
