Get real, John. If one partner in the marriage is taking money from bills s/he can't spare, to give to his or her children, the other partner has to make it up. It is impossible for married people to separate their money. The mortgage is joint, the electric bill is joint, the water bill is joint . . . One partner in the marriage does not have the right to make such a decision for both. It is also not right for one partner's children to receive monetary gifts while the other's does not. He needs to grow up and stop trying to buy his children's love. What she needs to do is every time he gives one of his children, give each of hers an identical amount. His daughter gets $600, her three sons get $600 each. I'll bet he'd lose interest in handing out the money real fast!
