Today, I found out why my five-year-old has been throwing tantrums while shopping. It turns out my ex-husband has been paying her three dollars for every public tantrum she throws. FML

Money talks, even if you're only five. Just offer her another dollar for every time she takes money from your ex without actually throwing the tantrums. She'll make bank, and he'll keep paying...for nothing. Not exactly honest, but honesty is only the best policy when it doesn't stand in the way of sweet revenge.

Give her five dollars to tell Child Services he hits her. You get even, and she learns a valuable lesson about money getting you anywhere :p

Hmm I had a comment here explaining a little more, but now it's gone. My daughter, up until about a month ago has never had a temper tantrum at home, let alone in public. The only reason I even found out about this bribe is because I found a sock under her bed with 15$ in it. I threatened to give it to the little boy next door if she didn't tell me where it came from. She doesn't like the little boy next door and she really doesn't like parting with her money.

y'all are a bunch of dip *****. it's just a harmless prank. you must not have kids of your own. cuz if ya did you'd know that CPS is not something you use just to get back at them. could ruin their life.

No, you must not have kids. "Cuz if ya did," you'd know that you don't use your child as a pawn to get back at an ex. 1-it's not teaching her good behavior. And bad behavior starts early and can be a hard habit to break at, say, 16. 2-it's immature to put a kid in the middle and make them grow up feeling like they have to choose sides and are nothing but a weapon for their parents' use. CPS has every right to look into a parent who is treating their kid like a tool instead of a human.

Except it's not a harmless prank. He's manipulating our daughter to get back at me. Not a very mature thing to do. And like intoxicunt said, it's not teaching her very good behaviour. She's actually a really good, well behaved kid but it just seems as though her father is trying to undo all of it. I would never use my daughter like that.

I really don't believe that CPS would pay any attention to this beyond telling OP to the lawyer she used in the custody negotiations.
