Desiree:
I don't understand! You make over $70,000 a year; I make over $100,000
a year; Gabriel has a credit card (which I fund) with a $5,000 limit,
with which he is permitted to buy his clothing; yet, you refuse to allow
him to buy decent quality clothing when he is with you. What is wrong
with you? Why do you insist on forcing him to dress like a welfare
child? I might be able to understand if it was just because you're
cheap, but you don't even have to pay for his clothes - that's what the
credit card is for. I'm paying for them!
Specifically, I'm referring to those Arizona Jeans you make him wear. I
wasn't familiar with the brand, but the quality of them was hideous so I
researched them. According to urbandictionary.com
(http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Arizona+Jeans+Company):
"A favorite of middle schoolers, poor people, and people from small
towns with no other options (although this is still not an excuse),
Arizona Jeans Company is basically one step above buying your
clothes at KMart."
So, I checked the JC Penny and the Macy's web sites. Arizona jeans are
$30 - $35 at JC Penny; Levi's are $40 - $50, Ralph Lauren are $50 - $60,
at Macy's. You're not willing to let your children spend an extra $10 -
$20 to have decent quality clothing and to not have to carry the stigma
of wearing ghetto clothes? But it doesn't even cost YOU anything!
Is it because Sage's father doesn't contribute shit and you don't think
it's fair to Sage that Gabriel gets better clothes? Isn't that unfair
to Gabriel, though? Why should he have to suffer just because Sage's
father is a yahoo and you made bad life decisions (by having a second
child you couldn't afford, with a guy that had no prospects and no future)?
You're a bad, bad parent!
Cheers,
Fox

Oh I fully intend on taking Gabriel shopping for clothes on your credit
card when he gets back. Those were bought because he didn't have access to
his credit card or your 100,000 a year.

He's had the card since October 2013. The only store you take him to is
JC Penny - because it's "close to home". You can't drive a few extra
miles out of your way for him? But you'll go out of your way for weed?
