It can be hard to keep the bills paid when you have a blended family. Kate is having a hard time because her husband won’t help pay for her son’s college. He spends his money on things that Kate doesn’t think are as important instead. We gave her some suggestions on how to handle this tough situation.

“Paul and I have been married for 15 years. My ex-boyfriend gave me a son named Jude when I was 18. Paul has a teenage son from his first marriage.

Jude is going to college this year, but Paul, my husband, won’t pay for it. He’d rather buy his son a car for his 16th birthday.

I told him that giving his own 16-year-old son a car wasn’t necessary, but my son’s education was. After that, I told him that my son has the same rights as his son.

If you remember, Paul said, “Don’t forget that your son’s father is a lazy man who has never worked a day in his life.” He said, “Don’t expect me to deprive my own son of nice gifts just because your son’s dad won’t step up and take his duties as a father seriously.”

I was let down when he said, “Even though I love him, Jude is no longer my responsibility now that he is 18.”

I can’t stand how my husband acts, especially since he’s always been a good dad to my son. What should I do in this case?

Yours,
Kate”
