Ex wants to control where I go on holiday

[HolidayInRuin]

I've decided to spend the holidays in England until my youngest is 4, he's two now. Go to Ireland, Scotland and just around England.

Problem is ex always has something to say about it. I live in London, and say I want to take the kids to Alton towers in the weekend, ex will say " it's too far", " it's not safe for you to take the kids on your own, the journey is too long" etc. There's always something, and his excuse is that "we're not divorced yet.." I just feel like he just wants the control.

Anyone's ex like this? How do you deal with it?

You need to tell HIM where to go.

Get proper contact - usually every other weekend (not every weekend, as you should both have some fun time), and maybe a midweek if that fits in with school. Then up to 50% of the holidays.
Then don't tell him what you are doing. Court would even allow holidays overseas as long as there is no risk of abduction.

Why are you telling him anything? It’s none if your business what you do with the dc whilst they are with you. Sort out contact arrangements that suit both of you to include holidays.

Oh and it’s Alton towers, not the bronx ffs
