00:00If you haven't got any money to afford to get the kids a nice Christmas chance, go and get another job.
00:04I'm so p***ed off. My ex-husband spent over a thousand pounds of presents on the kids this year.
00:09We agreed to £200. He's already got the kids for Christmas.
00:13Him and his f***ing f***ing, they're just like showing off.
00:16She won't let him get away with this.
00:18What do you want? David, we need to have a talk.
00:20Oh, come in why don't you?
00:22Yeah, I will do. Father, do you think it's okay to spend over a thousand pounds on the kids this Christmas?
00:28You'd still be having a go at me if I didn't buy her anything at all. I can't do anything right with you. I never could.
00:32She only found out when her kids started bragging about all the expensive gifts.
00:36I don't want you to be the favourite. You're trying to make yourself out like you're the best parent.
00:40So you have them doting on you and the bloody s*** that you're going out with.
00:45So you all have the perfect Christmas day and then I'm just left there on my own with no money.
00:51Jackie, if I want to spend money on my kids, I will do.
00:55I want to see them excited. When they wake up on Christmas morning, I want them to go wow.
00:59I want them to be excited, but I don't want it to be to such a scale that I can't compete with.
01:04You know, you never spent this much money when I needed child support, did you?
01:08You didn't spend this much money when we were together, so now all of a sudden to be the good parent.
01:14He's going to make it personal.
01:16So if you haven't got any money, right, to afford to get the kids nice Christmas friends, go and get another job.
01:21Work on a night. Do whatever you need to be. I do.
01:24I'm doing the maximum I can. I've got two jobs on the go.
01:27You only want them when it's the fun events. Birthdays, you want them. Christmas, you want them.
01:32But the everyday stuff, no, you won't take the pressure off me. You're doing stuff with your s***y little new wife and that's all you give a s*** about.
01:43Creating your new family.
01:45I'm fed up of you coming around here having a go at me when I try to do something nice for our kids.
01:50I'm going to do it anyway and I'll do it every single year and this is going to happen every single year.
01:54Why are you so selfish?
01:56How am I being selfish by spending money on the kids?
01:59You're not being selfish that way. You're being selfish to me. I'm the other parent. I'm a co-parent. We're meant to do this together.
02:05He suspects the problem is deeper than this.
02:07You are jealous. 100% jealous. You come around here, you see that I'm making a new family, a new life.
02:13She loves the kids. She does something like that her own. You couldn't ask for anything better.
02:17I could be a complete dead beat dad that does nothing for her and never sees them, but I do see them when I can. I work all the time.
02:23To provide for them.
02:25I don't want her doting on my kids. I want me to dot on them and I want you to step up.
02:31There's no leeway with you. It's all got to be about you. This is about the kids. It's not about you.
02:38Why do you think I'm here? Is this about the kids?
02:41You come around so you can have a go at me. It's always the same. Christmas is going to be special for them.
02:48Of course it's going to be special. They're going to have everything they ever wanted.
02:51Exactly. Does it matter where it comes from? No, it doesn't. As long as the kids are happy.
02:56They won't mind that they've got less of you because they've got the presents.
03:00It does matter because it makes me look bad. It matters to you but not the kids.
03:03It matters to me because it's going to have a bad effect on the kids as well.
