I have been paying for basically everything for the kids. As far as school goes and sports. Never asking for money from her. Just recently I started to ask the wife to pay half of the house lawyer bills. Which is a couple hundred bucks. I think it's fare if she pays half of that. Now she asked me to pay half of the oldest school year book. Not a big amount, 40 bucks.
I have to admit I'm kind of frustrated with this. Who does she thinks pays for all that stuff and I never asked for a dime. Now that I asked for half of house lawyer fees. She gets to ask for this. Petty! If she would have said hay 3kids I don't have enough money can you get this. No problem.
So, do I try and push this off until next time with the kids and just ask for half of the future stuff. Since I didn't correctly set this stuff in stone. Or do I confront her and say I think you should cover this because I got the rest of the other stuff before.
I think I'm leaning towards the first choice. Because I didn't correctly put this in stone. But I don't want to be a dormat either.
Thanks 3kids
