My STBXH has asked to have our 6 mo DD for a whole weekend. We also have a 3.6 DD. We separated in March last year and since the baby was born in September he has seen the kids 3 times the last being at the end of December when he dropped our eldest DD off after he had her for 4 days. When he dropped her off he didn't even come in to see our youngest as he apparently didn't have time!
He is in the forces and is based a 5 hour drive away but this is no excuse for his lack of contact, He never rings or Skypes to speak to older DD. He says he's too skint to drive up and that's why there will be an almost 4 month gap between his last visit and the next.
I said to him that there is no way he is having her overnight as she will have absolutely no idea who he is. He thinks I'm being unreasonable as her is her father and he should be able to have her for a weekend.
He was never an involved parent with our eldest and when she was a baby he never woke to do night feeds and if she was crying he would straight away hand her back to me.
I would feel VERY uncomfortable him having her as she has had no contact with his family and she will be among strangers.
Since she was born I have told his mum that my door is always open for visitors but none of his family have been to visit.
AIBU????
