Freeloading dad asks teacher to make 8-year-old son and stepdaughter share school supplies, gets mad when ex-wife puts a stop to it: 'They can't afford to do this'

Blended families are more common than ever nowadays, but that doesn't mean that they are any less complicated. When you have kids together, it is likely that you still have to deal with your ex-partner and they aren't always going to be charitable about that. The risk of disagreements can heighten even further if your ex gets remarried, not least because their new spouse is likely to take their side—or even make it worse. 

This is something that one mom found herself dealing with when her eight-year-old son and his stepsister from his dad's new marriage ended up sharing the same class. She realized that the girl had been sharing the school supplies she bought for him because her ex and his wife told him to. She requested that the teacher not allow this, and it's fair to say that this decision ruffled some feathers. It feels mean to make your budgetary constraints a child's problem.
