Was this rigth or wrong decision ???

My hubby’s EX called him to asked him for extra money to enrolled their son (11yrs) to summer camp for 4 days w/ a cost of 350.My hubby always pay child support on time (550p/ month.Their son lives 14 hrs away, we always purchased roundtrip airplaine ticket.Plus we always have to buy him new clothes,new shoes & underwear clothes because his mom always send him with the clothes he is wearing on. We along w/our 4 kids always go out on vacations for 2 weeks. So when he said NO because we have to spend on other things & also we always buy their son school supplies & games for his psp or what ever he needs & wants (not spolid kids cuz we have 3 more) So we just try to be fair w/ all our kids.. He said if she wants then she will have to pay for it.. She got mad and told us to cancel the airplaine ticket becuse the child is not going to come over & spend time w/ us.. Which is not fair for him?? Did he did a rigth desition or should he pay for this summer camp trip??it is just capricious4her?

I think this is a tough decision. I personally think the father is 100% responsible for all financial issues regarding his children, weather or not he is with his mother. It sounds like your husband is very responsible in this aspect, however you have to ask yourself “what if it was one of our own children?” and “what benefit would he get out of going to this camp?” its always tough when there are children from a previous marriage who do not live with you, for the parents both step and biological, and the children. I would consider if your husband could afford to send him first of all, or if there is some sort of arrangement that can be made (like his mother pays half, your husband pays half, then the boy works it off some how if he is old enough) Try to imagine yourself in your husbands former partners shoes (however much you might possibly dislike her) and those of your stepson. Good luck, these situations are never easy. The cancellation of his visit sounds manipulative, and unfair. However, perhaps if the son prefers, instead of visiting, the money for the plane ticket could go toward his camp?
