Ex dp sees dd most weekends from around 11am to 7pm Sunday. We often do things together (we are working on perhaps reconciling). Dd is 2. He stays over as he currently lives quite far for work purposes. I do everything for dd in the week as well as working full time.
Ex earns around 40k more than me although I am on a decent salary too. He pays me 1k a month which covers nursery and all food. I buy nappies and wipes. He will get her extras like clothes or toys too.
I feel incredibly resentful that everything is left to me to do. I know it is obviously lovely I get to be there for all of Dd’s week and I don’t resent that as such, but I find it very hard doing it all. Ex thinks the amount of money he gives represents his acknowledgment and appreciation that I am doing so much. Do you agree? Am I being unfair to feel resentful? There’s not much I can do about it anyway as his work has always been on short contracts and he’s moved around. But I hate that I feel so badly treated and not even sure if I’m justified in feeling that way.
