Her Ex Is Mad She Never Sends Her Son To His House With Nice Clothes Anymore, And He’s Accusing Her Of Making Him Look Poor
This woman is currently co-parenting her son Alex with her ex. But unfortunately, her ex has been suffering from some financial struggles and is just trying to make ends meet.
So, he is not able to afford much for their son– but she tries to be understanding.
On the other hand, she is more financially stable right now and likes to gift Alex nice items. Her one rule, though, is that her son’s “nice clothes” are fully reserved for going out.
“If he wants to play, that’s fine. But he can go in play clothes; I don’t want him playing in those [nice] clothes,” she explained.
Nonetheless, her ex does not exactly abide by that rule.
Apparently, every time Alex returns home, his clothes are completely wrecked. Like, mud-covered, ripped, and buttons-ripped-off wrecked.
She has even had to throw out multiple pairs of shoes just because Alex’s father does not have him change into play clothes before roughhousing.
So, at that point, she became sick and tired of having to relentlessly wash or even throw away items since the costs really do add up.
And since she and her ex always coordinate drop-off and pick-up for Alex following Sunday Mass, she had a little plan about two months ago.

Following Mass, she decided to have Alex change from his nice clothes into his casual clothes before he went with his father.
“I have been doing this for about two months now, and it has helped my bank account a lot to not have to spend a fortune whenever they get wrecked,” she said.
But recently, her ex has been pretty ticked off about the sudden wardrobe change.
She tried to explain how the switch was only because Alex would constantly come home with ruined clothes. However, her ex believes she is not sending him with nice clothes anymore for a more sinister reason.
In fact, he thinks she is doing it on purpose to basically rub in his face that he is “broke.” Still, that thought never even crossed her mind.
“I said that was his own insecurities talking because I have never ever done that, and I have given him multiple chances. I would even be fine if he at least washed them to the point where they were not un-washable and stained,” she vented.
Nonetheless, her ex will not let it go. He claimed that he needed Alex to go to his house with nice clothes in case they went out somewhere.
Plus, he said she is being a jerk for not allowing her son to enjoy his time while wearing certain clothing items and that they are “just clothes.”
So, she basically told her ex that if clothes hold such little significance, he needs to get over it.
But, this pissed him off even more, and he even ended up telling other friends and family members about the ordeal.
Now, they are also on his side and believe she is being super insensitive to his situation.
In turn, she has been left totally puzzled. She never set out to intentionally harm her ex– she just wanted to save herself some time and money.
Since she realized how much the decision hurt her ex’s feelings, though, she is not sure if refusing to send her son to his home with nice clothes is the wrong thing to do.
Do you think she had a right to make that executive decision or not? What would you do in her situation?
