I’ve been split from my ex for 6 months and he has been having the children on one of his days off from work. He works full time and I am a stay at home mum to our 3 children (11, 9 & 2) with additional needs. I asked him yesterday to start having them on both of his days off from January so I can work on those two days but he says I’m being unreasonable because he should get one day a week to himself to do his hobbies or whatever and because I work for myself from home “it’s not really working” and apparently I get loads of time to myself which is laughable to be honest because our 2 year of is almost surgically attached to me and screams if left alone.
I’ve said I’m not stopping him from having days to himself but he will just need to sort childcare on those days instead of expecting me to be free childcare.
am I being unreasonable to expect him to step up and do this?
