Ex and I are currently in court sorting out access with our dc. From the offset of proceedings ive made it clear dc would go to nursery once eligible for funding and so I could return to work which would be in Jan 2021. Ex is now saying he wants dc 3 out of 4 weekends until dc goes to nursery (dc hasn't had a overnight with the ex before but due to start) I've said no let's go with cafcass recommended every other weekend as ex will only use the contact as control, my family would like to see dc and I'd like to get a routine going before nursery and settle into a new normal.

So I've sent over ex options for nurseries over a week ago, first email he didn't respond to.. then I sent another on Friday which was about overnight contact he got back straight away, so as I knew he was available I asked him about the nurseries, he told me he hadn't yet looked and that he doesn't know when he will get a chance.

Now am I being unreasonable to think it should take over a week to look at 3 nursery options considering I provided all the details? He admitted he hadnt even looked at any of the 3 I sent.

Thank you @Davros, I try as best as I can to always but dc first even though I do believe my ex is no good for them.

And thank you @RandomMess, I took your advice and just set a time, not had a response, still nor to the nursery but I have now booked the latter. Ironically ex was belittling me because I wouldnt put dc into nursery at 8 months so I could 'clean the house and look after myself' and yet now unless something directly affects him he isn't interested. I honestly believe he wants to get as many overnights as possible to cut maintenance and is pissed off with me.
