My best friend has a 7 yr old dd who sees her father eow. She's considering stopping him collecting her from school, instead either collecting her later that evening or Saturday morning. Her reasons are that he refuses to do homework/spellings/reading with their dd and by the time dd returns on a Sunday she's too 'attitude filled' (dad has very few rules) to do any of it. Her attainment is suffering as a result as she goes from 10/10 on mums weeks to 2/3 on dads weeks and Mondays are the day an adult listens to them read so dd isn't moving up as she should.
He also won't empty her lunchbox, or encourage her to do so. He leaves it in the car so mum often has congealed food to deal with by Sunday now it's warmer. He regularly 'forgets' things like school shoes, school Sun hat, coat in winter etc.
He says he'll take her to court if she changes contact. I can see why its annoying for her but imo it is petty and not worth going to court over. What do you think?
