Re: You're forgetting...

I don't think the husband seeking sex is any better or worse than the wife agreeing to sex for no other reason than to assure that her bills get paid. The entire situation stinks, and both of them are using each other for their "needs." Yes, a court will order *some* support. The court won't require him to pay all of the household expenses, however, and then give her an "allowance" in addition to household expenses....unless he makes a LOT of money.....which doesn't sound likely, since his living with his parents in the interim.
A babysitter, be they a grandparent or anyone else, isn't comparable to a parent. I don't expect the same level of work from a sitter as I expect from myself, when it comes to caring for my house or my children. Washing dishes, possibly a two-person job, is not the same as mowing the lawn.....a one-person job.
Would I show up at my ex's and not offer to mow the yard? Ummmm....yes, ESPECIALLY if I were the person footing his bills. I find it hard to believe that you would offer to mow your daughter's father's lawn.
Would my husband offer to help ME? Yes, he would.....but we share the workload because we share a home.
Not to mention that if I asked my husband to move out, I would *expect* to carry the workload.
