Is this enough? Money related

Having an ongoing discussion with DP about our finances. We have 4 children between us, one that's ours and the rest are all with us 50/50. 2 are mine, 1 his. Not sure if relevant but just in case it is - it's there.

Rent is 500 a month. Everything else, bills, general living is the same as every other average family. Is £200 a week towards absolutely everything enough for DP to contribute? I personally don't think he understands just how much I have to pay out for, all the little things as well as the bills, food, fuel, clothes, baby stuff, the list is never ending. I should also point out I earn in a month what he earns in a week.

@amilosingitor sorry if I've caused offence. I'm just not sure why you;'ve come on here? You are asking our opinions on whether he pays enough and if you thought he was, you wouldn't be asking. I don't think you like the responses because its not what you want to hear.
Surely its pretty simple. Just list everything you pay for and give it to him and tell him to divide it by 2.
As for being financially abusive. I say that because in my own opinion, if he earns so much more than you, a decent bloke would offer to pay more than half anyway.
