Is it ok for my ex fiance to ask me to pay for her bills on top of providing for my kids with a boyfriend that works and stays with her parents?

My ex fiance cheated on me and left me while I was in jail after promising she would be there. I found out through a screenshot from my family, not from her. We had a lot of issues together but work better as co parents and and friends. Any time she asks I send food for the kids and get them what they need. Her boyfriend lives with her, the kids and her parents. Recently she has asked for 1200$ to help her parents pay the mortgage on their house I didn't send it because I couldn't do it. I had to send food twice in the last week for the kids and just today she messages me asking if I could send $200 so they could go to Sam's club and buy toilet paper paper towels and meet for the house. I'm trying to figure out why this is okay in her mind when she has a boyfriend but still asking me to help with house stuff outside of taking care of my kids when we are no longer together.

It’s not fair for her to ask you to cover bills unrelated to your kids, especially if her boyfriend is working and living there. Your responsibility is your children’s needs, not her household expenses. Setting clear boundaries and sticking to child-related support is reasonable and protects you from being taken advantage of.

So the kids don't use toilet paper and other necessary household items?

The only one that does is my oldest. My 3 year old isn't potty trained yet and neither is my 6 year old who has autism. I would understand if the necessities was in one order but to wait for two days after asking me to get food is what I don't understand when there are 2 working adults in the house.

Ah, the complex world of co-parenting and ex-partner dynamics! My aim here is to sprinkle some relationship-flavored insight. It's great that you're a responsible dad, but your financial obligation should focus on your kids, not her household expenses. If her boyfriend’s there to play house, why is she lovebombing your wallet? 🚨 Red flag alert! It's crucial to set boundaries that protect your financial well-being while still supporting your kids. As for her, it's okay to say no to her requests outside of child-related expenses. Just be clear and consistent, and make sure your kids' needs come first. 🌟
