Finally in my rented home with kids x is back at his parents bought himself a brand new car but has to wait a till september. Although he lives only 5 miles away he's wanting me to take children to him which I didn't mind doing for couple of weeks whilst he got a car and looked for somewhere now he's telling me its going to be a few months. I said I'm not prepared to do all the droppin off and picking up and he said he wouldn't beable to see the kids then and I'll have to tell why?

he is a nasty piece of work he is able to get a taxi/bus/borrow a friends car for few hours/even bloomin hire a car and he's blaming me because I have said I'm not prepared to drop them off and pick them up. Am I in the wrong? Is it better that the kids see him no matter what way? Really need some advice

this is a hard one if you give in & do what he wants he will keep doing it with more & more things but yes it is an important thing for the kids to see there dad

on the point of you telling them why he isnt seeing them if you dont do what he wants well that one is easy tell them the truth daddy says he cant get here because he doesnt have a car simple as

not very helpful sorry but hope it helps abit

Don't fall for this emotional blackmail. Tell the children that daddy can't come until he has a car. If anything is said about you taking them and picking up, just say that you can't afford to keep taking them over there.

If he is that bothered about seeing her, he will get the train/bus etc borrow a car.

If you do him a favour now, he'll expect it all of the time in my experiance.
