Ex going on holiday

[mnem]

So we split up before I have birth. My ex is going on holiday when our child will be 3 months old am I being unreasonable being annoyed

Well if you alternate then obviously one of you is home by 6pm each night aren't they - so it isn't at all unusual. The person who is home later than 6pm would have been around in the morning too to spend time with the child and get them ready etc so it's not like one parent is left doing 100% of the childcare. I certainly can't contact my financial advisor, estate agent, travel agent, post office, accountant etc past 5 or 6. So anyone who works in any of those will be home long before their children are tucked up in bed.

Lots of offices shut at 5pm or have the option for flexible hours so you can go in early and leave early too.

I haven't seen a job ad for a 9 to 5 in years, it's minimum 9 to 6 for a start for office workers.

Err.... no. It isn't. I work in an office and have done for years. I have always worked 9-5 and don't know anywhere in my geographical area that doesn't have these hours for office staff.

Anyway OP, I think you are being a little unreasonable, are you saying that your ex can not go on holiday again until your baby is old enough to not need looking after? How many years would this be?

Did he present it to you as a fait accompli? If so, HIBU.

It’s reasonable to expect some communication given he’s expecting you to do his parenting for him whilst he has a jolly!
