Reply #149: But I have said repeatedly our children have no food [View All]

All spending on extras is too much. Even the smallest luxury is beyond my means.

I didn't ever buy into the lifestyle you describe. Far from it. I scrimped and saved and barely made it month to month. Maybe my ex-spouse wasted money and refused to worry about his responsibilities like you describe, but now that he's decided to tighten his belt out of necessity it is ridiculous for him to say he might as well keep buying beer and cigarettes since he can't afford to pay for food and rent for his children. My starving children are expecting child support. He has no right to spend the money elsewhere.
