So my ex has our kids every other weekend. Though he still lives with his mum and dad and they pretty much do everything for my kids on those weekends. It's also 120 miles away so my kids travel this every other weekend.
He maybe rings twice a week and asks how they are. I feel this is because he feels he has to to 'be a dad' not because he wants too.
Maintenance wise I have to say he probably does give me slightly more than he should do. Though I have to remind him every time it's due. It's always a few days to a week late.
He has text me this morning with 3 dates over summer he cannot have the kids as his playing football. Do I kick off about this? Should I just let it go? I'm at a point where I just feel I should just let him do what he wants. He's extremely lazy and doesn't really have any 'umph' about him and I know if I argued with him he would just back down.
One of my children has special needs so I really do have a lot to deal with on my own. I wish he loved our kids like I do :-(
