Child support rant

Glad to know that your daughters needs are overridden by a holiday and selfish reasons👌
Still no child support paid 😡 he had an arrangement to pay by the end of the week. 🤔 still not there. It's now around 3 weeks late. He always pays late but this is the latest.
I'm so frustrated! Child support just keep on giving him chances instead of trying to garnish his wage! I'm getting so bloody cranky about it especially because he made it clear he could afford a holiday! Yet I'm left here struggling along giving my child the best in life! Dancing, horse riding, clothes etc yet there he is over there living it up spending money on whatever he wants instead of giving money for his child 😡
I'm not one of those mums that spends the money on me and my child goes without. She has everything she could ever want! She always has everything over basic needs. I'd go without before she had to go without!
I'm just so bloody cranky that he can't even pay less than 15% of his wage a fortnight bring left with a shit load of money after it's paid!
I should have known this would happen he always stopped paying for previous children and had a massive debt when we got together (didn't know at the very beginning). He doesn't have our child so it's not he is spending money when he has her. Not getting into why he doesn't have her but there are ligitamet reasons.

My ex husband just up and moved to another country.
Yup.
Some dad huh?
He was only paying just under $15 a fortnight so it's not like I miss it. Still...
Whatever. I expect nothing from him that way I'm not disappointed.

Oh wow that's tough! It's just so frustrating. I was left with a crap load of debt from the separation and so trying to manage that but also give my daughter so much is just hard when he's just being a total dick!

Manage your budget without it, maybe cut down on some of the extra curricula activities? Kids don't need to do everything they want. Live within your means so it is extra, I know it's not fair, but it's just the way it is. If you live with the anger of him going holidays and looking at everything he can afford, you will drive yourself mental. Accept it for what it is and you will be a much happier person, this advice comes from experience. You get to raise your beautiful child, stuff holidays, you got the real and valuable asset.

My ex celebrated our child by getting a tattoo... but never bought anything for our child To celebrate his birth. Never helped get things while I was pregnant. Didn't get me any flowers or anything to say wow you shat a baby out of your vagina congrats and thank you. Didn't get our child much since. Afew pack of wipes and a small toy. Now doesn't see our child at all. His choice.
