Help me here. Just had a horrid conversation with the ex. I covered 100% of home learning last time. I'm self employed and found it so hard to juggle work and home school 2 primary school kids who are different classes. If I don't work, I don't get paid and I'm a single parent. I did it but it almost broke me.
Ex works for NHS and said he can't cover any extra as "he has to work". He has them EOW weekends and one day in week and picked them up at 3pm as normal in those times too during last lockdown.
If I try and ask for help or for him to cover the full 1 day a week the school says fall on him, he starts ranting about cutting money or that I took him to court to restrict child access (he actually took me to court and got the exact days he asked for). I also don't believe if he has to take a day off work he would get a salary deduction in the NHS. Or, if like me he could do that work in the evening for the day a week. I have to do it every night.
He just twists it all to his advantage and I feel like I have to take all the hits covid sends. I'm worried if I try and press for him to do more he'll use money or try and take the kids away from me.
It's just impossible. I don't think I'm BU but is anyone else in the same position?
