    I just have to say this thread has made me so mad:mad:

    MY ex pays £15 a wk for our son which i think is completely unacceptable, he also only sees him about twice a year when he swans down in another new car.:eek:

    It wasn't my choice to become a single mum he's the one who !!!!!!ed off without a backwards glance. I was planning on bringing my son up with two parents.

    I think it's about time NRP started taking responsability for their children and maybe if you can't afford the children you have then don't have any more.:confused:

    My oh's wife also ran off with another man and left him with 3 children that she has never paid a penny towards even though he remortgaged the house to give her her share:confused:

    The trouble is that most people harp on about rights but forget about their responsibilities. Responsibilites come first.

    Em...

    If you can provide a better explanation than it is a very long boring week from one signing on to the next, then please feel free to explain! :D :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I'm sorry if you don't understand but I can't put this any better.
    I have my children twice on week and once the next, I look after them. I'm not begrudging paying £200 per month as some here seem to think.
    I'm objecting to an obscene amount that the CSA are demanding from me to finance my ex's cushy lifestyle.
    I am not getting anywhere here so I will just stop now, because all the negative comments are just proving that none of you care less understand and right now I am having the last laugh!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I presume you are getting the shared care reduction for the overnight stays? If not, then you need to contest your assessment to ensure that you are.

    Quite honestly, having read the whole thread, I have decided you are quite an unpleasant person and I am bloody glad you're not my ex. As you appear to think £25 per child per week is sufficient, I would suggest that you keep your trousers on in future, to prevent any other expensive children that you don't particularly want to pay for, being born.

    I am so outta here.

    Hi there Viktory. Glad I could help evoke some feelings in you.
    I would like to reply to your post as I feel very hurt and upset that a Woman would think that I'm unpleasant and your glad you are not my ex.
    I for one would love the chance to take you out for a date and maybe to Milan for the day, and dinner at Corso Como Cafe and we could get to know each other better.

    Hmmm, actually? I think I'll pass.
    I know how to look after my money and my finances.
    Don't fancy going bankrupt or anything!!!?:p

    What gives you the right to judge by saying someone is an unpleasant person?!!!
    Repsolblade is voicing his experiences with the CSA and whatever you want to think there is no reason for this personal attack on someone. Kindly keep your comments off of a personal level and argue the facts and points raised!!!!!!!!
    I can only please one person per day.
    Today is not your day.
    Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.

    This could be by ex posting about me, he's said it often enough, despite the fact that he does not see his children, buys them nothing and has me in and out of court trying to avoid the child support (that obviously I use for drinking, clubbing and going on holiday!):rotfl:


    No , its probably somebody else altogether speaking from honest experience. I have several friends - including my closest pal of 14 years - who have seen their mothers spent such money on cashmere , makeup , and as mentioned holidays and boozing. It would incredibly frustrating to be the child in those circumstances - so get over yourself.

    It is an honour and privalege to have children, not a right! treat it as so, and not a tool to winge and snipe because you can't afford it. If you cant afford it then let someone like the Father take over, the more posts I read on this site the more annoyed I get at the fact that these so called PWC's think that NRP's owe them a living for having their children.
    I point you to an earlier quote, give us the children, you pay us, we won't ask for the world.


    What a Legend :beer: Theres a Glaswegian phrase "Gaun Yersel Son" ;) Excellently put mate.
