[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP. This is a hard one. Does your wife work and contribute meaningfully to HH income? What is she spending excessively on? (clothes, house, vacations, etc?) Before leaping to divorce and breaking up your kids' home, what have you done to rein this in?[/quote] She does work but I make the bulk of our income. We have 3.5 year old twins. We both want what’s best for their future but my wife goes overboard. Excessive spending - Most expensive daycare - Most expensive preschool - An expensive I caved and bought - A new car - expensive activities for the kids - A tutor for the kids ( no joke) - wasting hundreds each shopping trip - always purchases random crap she sees online This is just the tip of the iceberg. She didn’t use to be this way. Motherhood has made her very competitive. [/quote] OP, do you want to see your 3.5 YO twins grow up and be a part of their lives? Then cut the divorce talk. You have a problem and YOU need to step up to the plate. Why are you acting like a helpless child? You know this is insane. You've got to cut her off. Come up with a monthly budget, one for the kids and one for her personal things. Work with her on this but you must enforce it. Cut up the credit cards if you have to. They are YOUR KIDS TOO. Why are you allowing this??[/quote]
