Am I wrong?

My ex partner, father of my 3 children 11,10 & 8 is living in the family home, he pays £100 a week, that includes his contribution to the upkeep of the 3 children, rent (he has his own room) gas electric use of WiFi tv and all toiletries plus food, he doesn’t lift a finger around the house. He doesn’t help with clothing, hair cuts ect for the children everything is taken care of by me, he said he can’t afford more than £100 he only earns £382 a week after tax, he has no car and a monthly contract mobile phone. Is this acceptable ? What would you do?

Your ex partner sounds like the guy in a couple of my posts.

@Jo17anne Step Son will not work nor want. He expects his mother and I to pay for everything and puts nothing into the house.

That was the post, sorry. I do not like links.

@AndysAttic how old is your step son? It’s difficult cos his mother loves him and feels responsible for him! Slightly different in my case. Hope the 3 of you work something out

@Jo17anne That was a joke question. Might be worth mentioning the CSA to your ex...£100 a week while he is living with you is a joke. He would be paying a minimum of £600 just for child support, never mind rent or anything else.
