I am the mother and my son lives with me the majority of the time (except the summer and holidays). Well my son is 9 now and both of his parents have jacked up teeth and he is well on his way to having the same issue. About a year ago I talked to his dad about possibly getting him braces or at least going to a specialist and he said he was willing to pay half since insurance does not cover it. Well he got remarried in July and is expecting a baby next month and I am worried that he may not be financially capable at this time and I have the referral for an orthodontist. My husband and I can afford the bills but I think giving him the opportunity to help out would be the right thing to do. If I tell him we are starting the dental process will he think I am being an ****** because of the timing? I only found out they were going to have a baby last month and I already had the ball rolling. Sorry it's probably a stupid question but I would like to know how it looks from the other perspective. Should I wait to tell him or just be upfront but tell him he can hold off on paying his portion until everything settles down.
--------------------
You should be up front with him, just because he has a baby on the way doesn't mean that he no longer has a son. He has responsibilities and offered to pay half so that is what he should do. Hope this helped.
