wife hardens heart-5

They are recreational classes to which I can't afford right now. I have agreed to share the cost for next year's preschool entrance fees a couple of weeks ago. XW knew how much I make and yet thinks I could cough up extras.

We agreed on an alimony to be paid to her every month. I would say it's enough to cover the kids monthly preschool fees and food expenses. Could even save up some.

XW makes more money than I do but I think she over stretches her finances.

I wasn't much of an involved father before BD. I have been making changes for 5-6 months and are actively involved in my kids activities. She even commended me previously. Right now, I would like to know some info on the classes she signed my girls up. I would like to check the place out. She's unreasonably resisting giving any info. Cutting the nose to spite the face, she doesn't want to sent the girls to the art class now since I can't pay half of it.

I just want XW to share and talk about my kid's 'going-ons'. It's not unreasonable. XW snipes at everything I say and strings me around unrelated stuff. Blames. Past hurts.
It's really frustrating. It takes tremendous amount of patience not to walk over to XW and ring her neck.

D4 is more important now. She doesn't want to go out with me. I just want to spend some quality father-daughter time with my kids.
