Quote From: brykodaTell your husband this will be for a trial period and that ya'll need to go to court and get child support from the mother to help pay for the 14yr old. Also tell him he is the one that needs to look for who will care for his daughter before and after school just like you did for your own child. he needs to be the one lokking for and after his own child. Did u ever ask him to be the one to care full time for your child? Did he have to pay for everything your child needed? Then make atleast one of her( the 14yr olds) parents step up and be a parent!!!!! Thank you for the advice. We have had another talk. It was more like a fight though. He finally agreed but it wasn't easy. I think he has some resentment towards me now. He did admit that he didn't think about this before he made the decision though. So, I guess that's progress huh?? He's already paying child support and we also do a little extra for her when we can. I told him that it's our fault that her mother isn't doing what she should with the money. Before, he had the nerves to tell me that I do a lot for my six year old. I told him that he was exactly right. I'm her mother and I'm supposed to take care of her. I was doing it before her was in the picture and I will continue. Especially since I can't get a dime from her natural father whose no were to be found. Some days I wonder... I really do... Thanks again for lending your eye's...
