Compulsive spending/shopping?

Question

Do any one else have a issue with compulsive shopping? Like it’s gotten so bad for me... this month I paid rent and then I spent the rest of my money (2k) on clothes, shoes and room decor for my kids. I have my husband my debit card so I don’t do it again and it put us behind on some bills. I literally can’t help it though. I rationalize it when I’m doing it. 😭
When I was growing up my parents had money but didn’t spend any. I wore the same clothes from middle school and high school because I stayed the same size. But I always hated how I had old clothes or my mom would buy me clothes/shoes from thrift store or yard sale. So I don’t want my kids to feel that way, I wanna give them the world and I can’t seem to create a line for myself... 
Feeling like a failure...

Ahh we all love shopping it's ADDICTING. but when it comes to a point that its affecting your bills and getting behind on them then he'll yeah you got a big issue! I say that this is just a hobby of yours and maybe do other things that don't make you spend as much? If it gets bad let your hubby be in control of the bills and the card lol I understand you want to give yourself the things you didn't have as a kid and that's a Okay! But there's limits girl.  I say be careful with spoiling your kids on all these goodies you don't want them to grow up and expect more then what you can give them because you got them into that habit.

Answer

try budgeting . let your husband open an account for your savings  (just him alone knowing the pin) give him  some  money every payday let him put it in the account  and just tell him never give in to  a withdrawal of your ask unless it's an emergency. also don't  feel guilty  about not updating your  children  with clothes.. here and there you can purchase a shoe or an outfit for  them and I'm sure they'll be more than  satisfied. I use to be a shopaholic  I've just decided i rather save my money for vacations than fill up my closet with stuff I'll wear  once  then give/throw away .
