I have my son 50% of the time. It’s the way my ex wanted so he didn’t have to pay child support. We live in the same neighborhood so it isn’t really a big deal. Our houses are only ten blocks apart.
My ex has remarried and has a stepson that is two years younge than our sin but about the same size.
The problem is that my son has been coming home wearing clothes that are more suited to a younger boy.
When his clothes get dirty, instead of washing them or giving them.back to me dirty, they dress him in his stepbrother’s clothes.
I was nice and I would wash them and send them back and dress my son in his clothes.
After a few months if this I gave up. He wore his brand new Minecraft t-shirt over and came home with a plain t-shirt.
I went over and asked for all of my son’s clothes that they had. I waited while they collected everything.
They brought it out to the car and said I was being an asshole because they are brothers and it is normal to share clothes.
I started sending my son there in only his ratty clothes. Torn jeans, stained shirts. That sort of thing.
Now they are mad because “it looks like they are poor” and they are having to buy him clothes.
Since he has 50% custody he is supposed to be doing that anyways.
My son is happier because he has nice clothes here and there now.
