That makes sense. I will do my budget and give her a set amount. I will add it to whatever I give in child support, so if I give 150 every two weeks and I decide on 50 extra bucks then I will just give her 175 every two weeks. I will also tell her that when I said I would help with the rent I was still in the MR. Fix-it mode and that I can't fix everything. If she chose to be alone with the kids then I respect that, but I can't just help with rent because that is something a husband would do. If she doesn't want me for a husband then I won't act like one. She will be angry because I'm going back on my word but it's the truth.
