Dear Rodger:
My fiance has two children from a previous marriage. They spend every second weekend with us, which is fine. I am glad he includes his children in his life, and I get along well with them when they are with us.
The problem is that the children’s mother insists that they eat nothing but organic food, which means our food bill skyrockets when they are with us. We have to spend twice as much money as usual because we have to buy things like that ridiculously expensive kind of salmon. My fiance and I split our household expenses, so I resent spending that money on food when otherwise we could spend it on us going out.
I have mentioned my irritation to my fiance but he says this is the way it is. I say his ex should not be able to dictate what the children eat when they are with us but he says she is the custodial parent and has that right.

Dear Stuck in the Middle ~
I try hard to empathize with people who send me letters, but I admit that your letter has taken me beyond the pale. If you had said that you & your fiance can’t afford to pay the higher cost of food when the kids come, my answer may have been different, but that’s not the case.
So, I agree with your fiance: Suck it up & accept the realities of the situation.
Rodger

this woman is a selfish bitch
this girl is only engaged to this guy - just think how difficult her life is going to be as soon as she gets married and the ex-wife makes all kinds of other demands about how the children are raised - she is in for a whole world full of frustration
This girl is really, really, really cheap. She needs a major readjustment in her thinkiing if she has any hope of succeeding in her relationship either with this guy or these children.
this comment is coming from a huge fan of organic food, granted, but it sure seems to me like it is a good investment in your childrens future good health to give them quality food
even though i will get pounded by the other bloggers who read this i can see why the girl is worked up - that salmon in particular is real expensive - she is being honest and said spending her money on something that her fiancees ex wife wants so i think she should have that right to speak
this girl's complainting when she had to pay a little more for groceries on the 4 days a month that her BF's kids come to visit b/c this means she can't have an extra drink when she goes out? i'm LMAO at the chance this marriage is going to work!
