Ex wants me to supply childs cloths

[etexaschic]

I have custody of my 7 year old son. I also get a check for child support. Which I use on my sons food & clothing at mine and my son's house. I thought i was gracious enough by going through all my sons clothes & sending some to my ex's house well he called me & told me I need to buy newer clothes for him to have at his home. My question is am I responsible for supplying him clothes for his home as well? My son also has a PSP at my home well my ex wants me to get one for his home as well. He says since I get the money for support I need to support. My son wants for nothing at my home but I honestly can't tell you what me ex has for him at his home other than the clothes I gave him.

no way are you responcible for that and shouldnt feel that way.. tell him to go jump off a bridge

Why doesn't your son just take his PSP from your house to his when he's visiting his dad?

[etexaschic]

The PSP would not make it back to my house. If I send more than what he wears it stays at his house. Then my son cries that he doesn't have it. My ex sees my son only every other weekend for the weekend only.

I'm sure your son can survive without the PSP for such a short time, and if the clothes you send are not suitable then he can buy the ones he prefers. do you not send him with a weekend bag with things in?
At 7 your child is getting old enough to realise the differences between being with you and his father.
Anyway why isnt doing the father /son things he should be doing like footie, going out etc... after all he only sees him for a short time you'd think he'd make the most of it rather than sticking him in frint of computer game.

No you are not responsible, his father should be providing clothes and food for his son. I do this for my daughter who i have each weekend. You can buy kids clothes for next to nothing at tesco, I would say to your ex, give me and extra �30 this month and I will kit him out for you.

Tell him to grow up.

This is a child you are bringing up, not a point scoring exercise.
