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?

@HotPizza71 to be honest I’d rather him not be there, but if he is, because aswell as taking the p**s living a stress free life, he is holding me back from finding Someone else, iv come to the conclusion I’m not wrong for feeling how I am he is very selfish and needs to stand on his own two feet, I’m so grateful for everyone’s opinions

@Jo17anne I know what you mean if he's not contributing anything towards helping band loving the kids, why bother.. And like you say, it's holding you back.. Still take the 100 quid a week though, he's gotta still pay something, you've a right to that
