to think ex could call or text DC on holiday

[Namechange334]

Long time poster but have name changed as alongside other things this post could identify me.

Ex and I seperated about a year and have three DCs together, eldest is 7 and youngest is 2 they all adore their dad and see him an overnight at the weekend and twice he has them after school in the week.

He is home tonight after a week long "lads" holiday, so missed a lot of his time with the DC. I was a little put out by this but didn't say anything as it wasn't a big deal for me to have DCs and appreciate the extra time.

However I thought he would still maybe call and talk to them once or twice or text and ask how they are given it will work out to be around a two week gap he won't have seen them as he will have to work extra this week now.

He has been on social media, and has tezt a couple of times regarding things they are doing (not sure why??) so I know he has internet access and able to use his phone, I'm just a little upset for the DC the eldest two have really missed him and keep asking over him so it would have made their day to hear from him.

To clarify the texts are regarding things ex is doing (e.g. events etc.) nothing at all regarding the DC.

He could have called, but if the DC knew he was on holiday they could have been told this and that they won't have contact during that time.

Your Ex on the other hand was having a great time and didn't think of your DC's.

They know he is on holiday but when he is away from them during the week in "my" time he still often calls to see how their day was or to say goodnight so I don't think they (or I) thought the holiday would be completely no contact given he isn't away with work or anything so I assumed he would make some contact in that time.

I know its often different but I can't imagine having no contact at all for a week (if he even contacts once back) if I was giving up my time with them in the process.

The eldest knows xyz are days she sees her dad so she is a bit upset in general but that cant be helped.

But he text you a few times to let you know what he was up to - surely that was for the dc?

The texts (without identifying myself) were definatley not aimed at the DCs and seem more to wind me up (booze etc.)
