Ex-husband casually asked to skip 3 months of child support—he needed to “save for a summer trip” with his wife and their 2 kids. I didn’t argue…

When the next visitation day came, I didn’t drop off our daughter. Instead, I left a luggage at his door. As he excitedly unzipped it, his face turned white as he saw a pile of clothes and school supplies.

He blinked and asked, “What’s this?” I smiled. “Oh, since you want a break from supporting our child financially, I figured I’d help. So, for the next 16 weeks, he’ll be living with you.”

His wife appeared in the doorway, frowning. “What?” I explained, “It’s simple. Since you’re taking a break from financially supporting our child, I thought it’d be fair if I took a break too. You’ll be handling full-time parenting for the next 16 weeks. You know—so I can focus on my own savings. Oh, and don’t worry, I packed enough clothes and school supplies for the first two weeks. After that, I’m sure you can work something out.”
