Money for Gabriel's school clothes and supplies

Desiree:

I'm sending Gabriel some money ($300 - $500) for school clothes and
supplies.  It is for HIM to spend on whatever clothes and supplies he
wants.  It WILL NOT be used to buy Target, KMart, Walmart, or any other
discount store, crappy brands.  If you are not willing to take him to the
mall or to a decent store (like Macy's, or whatever kids are into) then I
will coordinate with him to order the things online and have them shipped
to him.

If it turns out that is not enough then I will send him more.  But, for the
record, I want to be perfectly clear, not one penny of that money is for
you or Sage.  And I will not have my child wearing crappy clothes to school
anymore.  If he says he doesn't care about brands and quality then I will
order him things in the fashion he likes, but that I know are good
quality.  If he's uncomfortable picking out designer clothes, or good
brands, while Sage wears that other stuff then I will order them for him so
he doesn't have to feel awkward about it.

If you think it is unfair that Gabriel have nice, expensive, designer
clothes to wear, while Sage wears that stuff from those discount stores...I
don't care!  And, in the event Gabriel is still with you when he outgrows
these clothes, they will not go to Sage - they will be shipped to me, at my
expense, and I will deal with disposing of them.  I am not doing this to be
vindictive - Gabriel is my responsibility, Sage is Michael's.
