She Told Her Ex That It’s Not Her Problem That He Doesn’t Have Any Money Because His New Wife Could Easily Get A Job
A 36-year-old woman has a 12-year-old daughter named Sadie that she had with her 39-year-old ex-husband, John.
She divorced John 5 years ago, and ever since, she’s been awarded primary custody over Sadie. John only gets to see Sadie 2 weekends out of each month.
A year ago, John remarried a woman named Amy, who has an 8-year-old and 10-year-old daughter that she had prior to meeting John.
“Amanda is a SAHM (not for any health reasons or so on, she just doesn’t want to work) while John works at a 9 to 5,” she explained.
“He makes good money to support them, but not enough to live in luxury.”
In comparison, she makes significantly more than John does, and because she only has to provide for herself and Sadie, she’s able to give Sadie the best of everything.
Sadie attends a private school and always has nice clothing and a brand new phone. She also has been able to start saving money for Sadie to go to college.
Although Sadie does live a privileged life, she has taught her to work hard and appreciate everything that she has.
Anyway, the last couple of visits that Sadie had with John, this mom realized a couple of things. Sadie was coming home with clothing that didn’t even fit her, and the clothing Sadie had with her also was not as nice as what she purchases for her.

“I asked her why that is, and she told me that while she’s at her dad’s, Amanda takes away her nice clothes and gives them to her kids while Sadie gets the clothes they buy from Target,” she said.
“I asked her if she wanted them back, but she said she didn’t mind sharing since all her favorite clothes were kept here.”
“The problem came when I went to pick her up last weekend. I had a business meeting and couldn’t drive her over, so Amanda offered to just pick Sadie up from school, which hadn’t happened before.”
Sunday, when it was time for her to get Sadie and bring her home for the week, she was surprised that John and Amanda requested a meeting with her.
She went to their house, and Sadie came to give her a hug, but Amanda intervened and nastily told her to go right to her room as her “punishment” was not finished.
She was astounded at what Amanda said, as Sadie never really causes problems or needs to be punished for anything.
She walked into John and Amanda’s kitchen to have a sit-down with them, and they revealed to her that they thought it was not fair for Sadie to go to private school when Amanda’s kids have to attend public school.
John and Amanda wanted to make things equal by taking Sadie out of her private school and instead making her go to the same public school that Amanda’s daughters attend.
“They also said I should keep up Sadie’s punishment because when they told her, she blew up at them, told them it wasn’t fair, and yelled that Amanda and her kids weren’t even her real family, that all they did was steal,” she continued.
“I told them…I would not be pulling my child out of a school she likes, away from her friends, because they can’t afford it. I told them they could easily make as much money as me if Amanda started working in her field because she has the qualifications and the job market is very good.”
“I told them their money problems are not my issue, and if Sadie’s items get stolen again, or they try to pull her out of school, I’ll be taking this to court.”
After that conversation, John and Amanda have been pestering her nonstop to agree to their demands while also accusing her of being “selfish.”
She does not think that she did the wrong thing pointing out to John and Amanda that it’s not her problem that they do not have money.
Would you have said the same thing to them?
