Things get tricky when relationships end and kids are involved.

You both have an obligation to parent and raise the kids, so you have to work together even when you don’t feel like it.

That said, a divorce does mean you don’t have to care about the other adult’s problems anymore.

Which is exactly how this man felt when his pregnant ex showed up trying to guilt him out of some money.

Check it out.

AITA for “letting” my ex and my kids’ half siblings “be poor” when I could help?

I have an ex with whom I share two kids (13M & 12M).

Our relationship did not work out and we broke up seven years ago.

He has been taking care of the kids all this time.

Since I was the financially stable one, she wanted me to have full custody.

I have had full custody ever since.

She has visitation, but she only uses it intermittently.

Quickly after the breakup, she started dating a guy “with money.”

He is from overseas.

She quickly got pregnant by the guy and they had a son.

The guy did not want to “raise someone else’s kids,” so she moved three hours away and completely stopped seeing our kids for almost two years.

Things got rough…

It turns out the guys’ money was actually family money, and when his conservative family found out about my ex and the baby, they cut them off.

Also, their son had some developmental issues.

She got pregnant again and a few months later, her BF left and returned to his home country.

She is now 6-ish months pregnant with no job and taking care of a special needs kid.

She was desperate for help…

She called me last week and asked me for financial help. They are living out of a motel and she is running out of money.

I have a lake house about 30 minutes from her. She asked if she could stay there.

I said “no.”

He was stern!

She asked if I would send her money, I said, “no.”

She called me an AH.

She said that I am letting “my family” suffer unnecessarily when I have the means to help.

I told I have no obligation to help.

They haven’t been on good terms.

We have been arguing ever since.

AITA

However unfortunate, she brought this upon herself!

Let’s find out what folks on Reddit have to say about it.

This user wants to have no mercy on her!

That’s right! This person knows this girl is history!

Makes sense. This person thinks the girl doesn’t have a right to ask for money.

This person has a polite answer for the ex!

This person suggests installing cameras at the lake house, just in case!

The comments sound rough but that’s the reality!

She left her kids and now she can’t use him or them anymore.
