I know its none of my business not my problem etc . But ex has the kids every other weekend . He never ever says no to them . Dad can I have this dad can I have that they are always coming back with toys and god knows what else. It's Xmas in a few days and he's still buying them stuff. Reality is I know I have no real reason to moan. Some fathers can't be bothered with their kids. But i don't think its could for kids to constantly get what they want and never being told no .

I suppose i feel a like he's the good parent and I'm shit because im the one to say no.

Wrong.
He’s the shit parent because he just gives them what they want, anything for a quiet life. That’s pretty poor parenting imo!

They are pretty easy kids they don't play up . He just won't say no . I guess shit parent was the wrong word . But kids would see him as the better parent because they get what they want
