AITA for saying it's not my problem if my ex and her husband can't afford their kids?

The audacity peaks when someone who previously weaponized child neglect to extract additional support payments suddenly pivots to lecturing about decency and responsibility toward children they chose to have with someone else. Nothing quite captures the essence of selective accountability like demanding your ex-husband fund school supplies for your stepdaughter while conveniently forgetting you've barely paid court-ordered support for your own biological child.

The psychology becomes even more twisted when the same person who denied food to their own son to manipulate child support calculations now positions herself as the moral authority on childhood welfare, apparently believing that previous attempts at financial extortion through neglect somehow qualify her as an expert on what constitutes proper parenting priorities. This thirty-year-old father finds himself cast as the villain for refusing to bankroll his ex-wife's reproductive choices, while she floods court-mandated communication channels with accusations that he's somehow failing their son by declining to purchase notebooks for children who aren't his responsibility. Sometimes the clearest sign of good parenting involves recognizing that your wallet has boundaries, even when your ex-wife's family planning doesn't.

Divorced dad shuts down ex-wife Marin’s demands to buy school supplies for her other kids after custody clash and cheating: ‘I told her I don't care if they can't afford their other kids’
Some people treat divorce like a subscription service where they assume continued access to their ex-partner's wallet long after canceling the relationship contract, apparently operating under the delusion that adding more children to their household automatically expands their ex's financial obligations to include the entire blended family roster.
This particular brand of post-divorce entrepreneurship follows a predictable business model: accumulate children from multiple partners, struggle with basic arithmetic regarding income versus expenses, then approach the most financially stable ex-spouse with requests disguised as moral imperatives.
