Mom Sets Up Savings Account for Son, Ex-Husband Now Wants to Be Co-Owner After 8 Years of No Contributions: 'He told me I can only afford it thanks to his child support contributions'

This mom has been quietly stashing away funds for her son for years, saving every spare penny in a savings account she set up for her 12-year-old son over eight years ago. But recently, her ex-husband and the father of her son caught wind of the account and suddenly wanted in. But not by matching her efforts but by becoming a "co-owner" of the savings she'd been building for nearly a decade. He thinks that since he pays child support, he's partially funding this little future fund. Naturally, the mom wasn't having it, and can you blame her?

Now, of course, he's mad, claiming she's making him "look like a bad dad" just because he didn't think to start saving earlier. Redditors are calling it as they see it: her ex is getting caught up in the optics rather than, you know, actually pitching in. Plus, the son is only 12. It's not like he can't start his own fund for him. Keep reading to see how the rest of this story played out.
