I completely disagree with your contention that; "The girlfriend brought up the subject in a grown up manner" because a 'grown up manner' to me is not humiliating the father in front of his children or embarrassing the children at the same time.
Yes, I would agree that it would be "silly to suggest they cut down on things for their home to keep stumping up dosh willy nilly" but this is not the case here, because the GF continuing to buy unnecessary expensive ornaments at the very same time that she is preaching to the father and his children the need to curtail his spending on them in their 'hour of need', hardly fits the sentiment of that sentence.
And in my opinion, even if they had 'pooled resources', if she really loved him, she would understand his heartbreak at being in a situation where he knows that his children need financial help but that he is financially struggling himself, and she would 'break her neck' to help him overcome such a dilemma - starting with forgoing buying any useless ornaments and suggesting that he give the children the money so saved instead.
I do not believe that anyone who truly loved someone who was in such a situation would add to his emotional turmoil by belittling him in public and compelling him to choose between herself and his children - which, is what she is really doing by her selfish actions.
If it was me, she would be straight out of the door - 'pooled resources' and all.
No woman will ever come before my children.

Again, just wow...
you truly understand what she is like. Thank you. It gives me hope knowing there are people as sensible and open minded as you are.
