DD father eventually 'allowed' DD 4 to stay at his for a week so DP and I could have a few days away. Whilst away reviewed text and emails from school to ask why DD didn't attend all week?!! She was fine ( v rarely ill ) when I dropped her on the Sunday. Her dad says she was Ill. ( Didn't take her to docs as she was just 'not herself'. Then DD says she stayed at her stepsisters everyday while daddy went to work. FFS. ( He'd made it soooooo difficult already 'its too busy at work I can't get time off'. I ask him in January to give me Any dates- but no it still wasn't enough. Then rings me as soon as flight lands Saturday to say he's bringing her back. THEN the next week announced 'i haven't had a holiday all year so am having next 10 days and going to Spain !!!!'. Last night he drops her and says he won't see her til next year ( he's supposed to have her EW ) as he's going ABROAD!!!! ARGHHHH!!!!
