Every single week children’s dad is late picking them up, I start work at 7:30 on a Sunday and he started picking them up at 8:30 so I changed it to then and now he still isn’t here even though I rang him to wake him up! The kids are at the window waiting for him and he turned it on me saying I need to get checked out for a mental health issue as I cannot deal with lateness! No I am just sick of this every single week!

I work from home and he will not tell
me where he lives as apparently I’m a psycho (I’m not he just likes to control everything)

He is never late dropping them off! I’m furious that he turned it on me.

Be out when he drops them off and be as late as he was picking them up! If you want to be petty (though not fair on the kids) or could say you didn’t pick them up til 9 you would have them for 7 hours so drop off it’s at 6pm. See you at 6pm kids have a lovely time with dad and shut the door.

By chance you can drop them on your way in?

What’s he like as a dad generally?

Not on! Your time is important too, I can’t stand lateness either.

Can he take them the night before so your work isn’t affected?

No he can’t as apparently he is busy on a Saturday night!

He’s a lazy dickhead. Be late to collect/for his work. He will soon learn.
