If you won 160k

[Hibye23289]

I suppose lighthearted. There was a competition on the radio today that was offering 160k in your account by the end of the day which led me to think how much would I give to my husband who I separated from this year over his financial fuck ups, he is the father to my children, I don't hate him he loves the kids but still struggles to pay maintenance but has brought them alot of xmas presents so I am torn on how I feel, anyway that's a whole different story.

So what would you give to them, if anything at all? Would you feel guilty not giving them any even if you don't get on?

And no I haven't won this money. I wish!

How would it be a favour to your kids to pour £££ down the open drain that is people who are shit with money?

Better to save it for the kids’ future, put it into a house for you and then to live in, or whatever.

I wouldn't give my ex (child's father) a penny. He certainly wouldn't give me any money if he won some!

No way! Wouldn't even tell him!

Though, I'd be using that money to move to a better secondary school catchment for DD so possibly a hard one to hide!

Another one who wouldn't even tell him, much less give him money. When men are unreliable with money, it's the kids that get short-changed, so safeguard their financial interests, not his.

I'd give mine some but then we do have an amicable relationship. He's the father of my kids, I'd definitely share my good fortune.

I would insulate, double glaze, solar power, thermal curtain and decent carpet, future-proof my home vs bills. Replace the car for a hybrid or electric. Pay off some/all mortgage. Pop some by as contingency for the times when he doesn't pay maintenance, and above all not tell him at all.
