DS seeing his dad one day a week

And it’s messing up my weekends.
I have my DS 10 every other weekend(50/50 with his dad). My other DS 2 only sees his dad sat am-sun pm. Me and DS10 like to go away to our caravan at weekends but can’t as DS2 dad sees him then so I need to stay home for him to pick him up. I’ve suggested he have DS2 Friday-Sunday(even every other weekend) but he’s said no.
if we go away, I’m expected to meet him half way(which is an hour drive each way) to drop DS to him. I really can’t afford the fuel for this, and it a pain in the neck as we like to have days out and have an early start.
how can I get around this?

If it's just what HE decided i think you need to decide something else. Easier said than done (I'm in a similar position)

He still lives at home… that’s it really. I’m still BF but DS is 2 now so definitely doesn’t need it and manages just fine without it.

No, no court involved. That’s just what he’s decided

Well then, you can decide something else.

Why accept what he says? Tell him that doesn’t work for you.

What was his reasoning?

How did it come to be like that? Is there a court order?
