I'm being given child support money for my teenage daughter and she has been told by her father the amount coming to me every month. Now my daughter demands that I give her money whenever she wants it and accuses me of spending "her money". I've tried explaining that I'm managing the money by partially using it to pay expenses, partially so save it in an account for her, but she often makes sly remarks that I'm using her money for myself. I'm just getting by with the money I receive, although I'm putting a small portion of it in saving for her every month the bulk of it goes to household expenses.
Any advice?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
that helped her to see. I also told her it was not her money. the end.
I would make it clear what your ex pays child support for..then I would not tolerate that from her.
Teenagers..hmm.. I think I have a few good years left.
Tell her it's What they Call it, but this is between you and him and Uncle Sam.
Ok, get out a calculator and start writing up Bills. Her Fair Market Cost for Room, board, food, doctors, psychiatric, pediatric, insurance, gas, electric, water and taxes.
I'm sure it's more than the CS.
This morning for example she started up again demanding to know what I'm doing with "her money". I was so frustrated I was tempted to write an e-mail to my ex and cc a copy to to my daughter, but I'm glad I didn't.
I told my kids about child support. Not in a negative way. My son was feeling abandoned and I wanted to let him know that he hasn't been. His dad comes to see him, loves him, and still helps me make sure that he has what he needs.
If my son ever refers to that money as "his"..I will set him strait.
