In response to "In all honesty, a part of child support is so the kid does not end up feeling like they are living with the "wrong" parent." by Spawn

the noncustodial parent however inadvertently spoiling the children and making the custodial parent seem like neglectful. if a child sees her noncustodial father once a month and the father lavishes her with gifts and toys all day, the child thinks that's normal behavior and expects it from the custodial mother. when she doesn't get it, she acts out.

so like, you want your child to have a relationship with the other parent, but not at the detriment of your own. plus, you want your kid to have nice things, but if it makes you look like a monster, do you tell the other parent to stop buying shit?
