For my ex to do some bloody childcare

He still nearly three years after we split doesn't have anywhere to live so that's a story in itself, looks like he's about to start cocklodging again though.
I want to move forward in my career, I work full time the kids and I are out the door at 7.30am each morning for school. Drop the little one at breakfast club the older ones go to Starbucks - about £9 a day for that alone. They then all get a taxi home - again - £15 per night for that.
Ex doesn't work Monday's so proposes to take them for tea every other Monday but he'll let me know if something comes up and he can't. I wanted him to pick them up after school on a Friday when it's his weekend and he will, but he'll charge me £35 a week to do so, therefore I will loose £140 per month for this favour every other weekend.
Is it me ? Honestly am I asking too much ?

I'm talking to a lady about being a live out au pair which would help in terms of actually giving my youngest some attention.
It breaks of heart because he says he wants to live with his dad which I understand because all I do is rush him from place to place. I hope in the end they understand but at the moment I feel like I'm killing myself for nothing
