I think you are interpreting her "being friends" differently than maybe what she meant.
Sounds like she "ONly " wants to be friends.. Ie, that you are trying to reconcile & she does not want that.
She wants you to be a dad to the kids, and help with the monetary support you should give for fathering those kids. She wants it "as friends".
I don't think she meant it as actually being friends & buddy buddy with you. I think she means it as she wants you to be a dad & finanacially responsible & you two be on friendly terms (not fighting or arguing about child rearing issues). But in no means, does that necessarily translate into wanting to "be friends" with an ex.
I might be completely off key here. But, I think if she said she wants to be friends, I think she only didn't want to fight about the kids, about the split up anymore. She just wants to go with the flow & not be bothered, not be fighting.
