Every year, I email ex in January to arrange school holiday contact. Every year in September, he emails to say 'i can't believe I've barely seen DD all summer'...! The most he's ever had her is for three nights and she's 8. Now we're going to court he's saying he wants holidays to be shared equally.
On some of the 3 night occasions, he has worked and left DD with his mum or GF. DD specifically said she'd only go there more if he wasn't working and that she'd rather be at home if he wasn't around. He's said that he doesn't want to be told what to do by me and that if he chooses to have DD cared for by his mum/GF/a childminder then it's none of my business.
However, as I'm on maternity leave and would like to have DD, I think she should be at home. Similarly, if I couldn't have DD for whatever reason I'd think it right to give him first refusal. Aibu to think being with a parent should be the priority?
