Totally understand. My ex bought a tshirt for our boy - the first thing he bought in his life - and banged on about it for months. Every time he brings him back, he makes a point of saying he's changed his nappy like he wants a bloody medal

I'm in the opposite situation as a single dad. The amount of times she's sent the kids home early from her contact weekends because she tired and they haven't slept well is ridiculous. It's as if she imagines the kids are only hard work when they're with her and it's all easy for me during the week as the eldest is at school
