So I have three kids with my ex husband, all teens. Two live with me 5-6 nights a week, the other stays with each of us 50:50.
He decided to go on a three week long haul jolly over Christmas with his girlfriend, I asked him if he could cover the maintenance before Christmas is poss to help out.
hes sent a contribution of £100 (£85k salary) to the child we share equal care of to cover the three weeks. because its ‘all he can afford’ and has said he doesn’t need to pay extra for the other two because it falls within the bracket of payment that he already pays.
i don’t know if it seems petty but im disgusted that he thinks it’s fine to rely on me for childcare over Christmas and whilst im working, but given it’s a temporary change, is there anything I can do, or do I need to suck it up? He knows I will have done everything in his absence to ensure they’ve had a wonderful Christmas.
