Child support
Is $400 a month too much?
I have our 1 year old son M-F and my baby daddy has him Saturday-Sunday.
I work and I’m in school while taking care of our child basically without his help.
He says $400 is too much and I deserve $250-300…
Mind yall this is what he sent our son to daycare with the one time he kept him until Monday .. (picture added). - frozen fruit and carrots

That is not too much. Considering inflation on groceries, and if your child is still in diapers or pull-ups those obviously add up- then if you have to pay for childcare, which costs things too. Them growing into needing bigger size clothes etc..Since your child is with you and i assume there is bathtime your water bill would be more too. Absolutely not too entitled totally reasonable
That doesnt even cover your child's monthly expenses, I think absent parents forget that you clothe feed shelter childcare medical care transport utilities extra curricular activities christmas birthdays and don't consider what the other parent pays day to day to maintain the child's wellbeing

I’m just baffled honestly. I do everything for our son without complaining while trying to figure out my own shit and bills. I just recently put in a petition to put him on child support and he’s clearly upset about it. Mind you he hasn’t even really paid $400 a month anyways! I just hate being painted as the bitter baby mama when I’m just tryna make sure our child is good….
