So me and my children’s Dad split 3 years. He has them Friday night to Sunday night every other weekend. He “might” have them for an extra day if his weekend falls on a bank holiday, he doesn’t have them at all during half terms to help and only has them for a week during school 6 weeks holiday.
He is self employed and pays £40 a week for the children...he earns a lot of money but as a lot of it is paid cash obviously he loses it 🙄
He has not helped at all during the pandemic whilst I worked as a key worker full time and he didn’t work for 8 weeks. He then refused to have the children for 4 weeks as he went into lockdown with his girlfriend and her son.
I’m starting to resent the amount he actually does and I know I should be grateful for the money he does pay etc but the last few months it’s shown just how little he does. Last year he went on holiday abroad with his girlfriend and her son and didn’t take our two and frankly lied to me about it...what are people’s thoughts? AIBU to think he should do more? Even just a school run once in a while? Sometimes I think it’s just not worth the aggro of saying anything but it’s getting harder to bite my tongue.
