My wife and I are going through a divorce. She is financially irresponsible and I have proof of adultery. I still live in the house with her during the split only to be close to my three kids. I am the sole breadwinner,she does not want to get a job yet. I have always provided for my family, my kids have never done without. Now, whenever the kids need something she spits out 'They need this or that and I'm taking them to get their back to school clothes and they want me to take them'. So while I'm at work all day, she's with the little ones all day at the movies, shopping, whatever..... Now I cut her off from the money when I found out about the affair, but do I force my little girls to go shopping with their Dad for their clothes. Do I play hardball and put my foot down and just tell her if you want to take the kids shopping then get a job. I resent every time I give her money to buy the kids something when I have to be at work. I feel that the kids are seeing 'Mom is fun all Dad wants to do is work.' Do I tell the kids that if mom wants to take you shopping then she needs to get a job.' Am I being immature or a jerk for not wanting to get stepped on or am I going about this the wrong way.
