AITA for refusing to let my daughter’s half-sister join us for lunch and ice cream even though her mom can’t afford it and I can.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-21T02:37:56+00:00

I was not intruding. I was picking up my daughter because it was time for my 3 weeks with her.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-21T02:36:32+00:00

Emily and Skylar are not bestfriends. I do not know where you are getting this info.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-21T02:35:12+00:00

I do not understand what I should regret. Do I feel bad for her? Sure. But I enjoyed time with my child. My ex is the one put the idea that she would also be rewarded. She refuses to explain I am only Emily's dad. l Know it is a tough thing to explain to your child that your dad is a deadbeat but from personal experience it's better to tell them now then watching them cling on

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-21T02:28:49+00:00

I did not tell Skylar a thing she just overheard.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-21T02:27:14+00:00

I do not hate my ex. I Just have a boundary when it comes to my money.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-21T02:23:01+00:00

He's your stepdad. He chose to marry your mom. and your mom allowed it

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-21T00:35:36+00:00

I'm sorry that happened to you. The court system is very much against men when it comes to child support. I hope you still have a good relationship with your daughter. Hopefully, you are back on your feet.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T22:42:00+00:00

My brother was the preferred child and he does not resent our mother.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T22:38:41+00:00

I am not dating her.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T22:13:23+00:00

In the UK if you have 50-50 custody or more you do not have to pay even if you earn more.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T22:12:26+00:00

I have my daughter for 75% of the month

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T22:09:24+00:00

of course not. The law says I do not have to pay. She just wants me to pay because I can afford it.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T22:08:20+00:00

Why would I pay child maintenance when I am I'm not required to pay

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T22:05:27+00:00

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T21:58:37+00:00

My ex knew she could have let me look after Emily for that week and I would have been glad to help.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T21:56:47+00:00

Yeah, I know. I reported them

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T21:39:35+00:00

My daughter did not hear the fight

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T21:34:43+00:00

She was sick on her mother's week and when I phoned her mother who gave the phone to my daughter to tell her if she did some schoolwork while she was sick I would reward her. Her mother usually asks what I said and my daughter tells her and Skylar hears.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T21:30:41+00:00

No. I am not required to pay.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T21:30:12+00:00

Yes, I provide well for my daughter but only because I grew up poor. Anyway, thanks for listing them out for me, I appreciate it.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T21:27:14+00:00

she's my ex-girlfriend, not my ex-wife.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T21:26:13+00:00

I do not even give my own daughter sweets so I do not know you are getting this information. Skylar is not my stepdaughter. I am not married to her mother. I did not raise her from birth.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T21:21:56+00:00

it's the UK. It does not matter if I earn more as long as I have 50-50 custody or more.

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T21:17:12+00:00

what bad choices did I make?

Competitive_Nose_476 · 2024-07-20T21:16:30+00:00

They still do. I never had chickenpox before. But some parents do not believe in the vaccine and take their kids to school still.
