Ex and dds birthday

It’s my daughters birthday today, my ex said yesterday that he would come and see her today, I messaged back saying yeh that’s fine. He didn’t message back again so I assumed he would let me know what time in the morning, however nothing today. At 12 I sent him a message asking what his plans were for today to come and he just never responded. He lives 2 hours away so obviously would have confirmed early if he was coming, I just don’t know how you can do that tbh, arrange to see your child ON their birthday and just not show up?! And ignore my messages, good job I never told her he was coming but how are children ever meant to learn what the other parent is like if you never tell them anything? I am tempted to block him as I’m so annoyed by this. He asked me to come, I didn’t invite him, then to just not show up and ignore me

Screenshot the texts so you have that should he ever turn round and call you a liar.

I personally wouldn’t block him as the not knowing what his next move was would be irritating to me, however I wouldn’t judge you for doing so.

He won’t go to court, I don’t need to worry about that. He wouldn’t do it, he doesn’t want to see them.

@CandyFIosss he’s a waste of space dad. Just move on with your lives without him.

Is he paying maintenance?

CandyFIosss · 02/05/2021 17:30

I don’t want maintenance from him. I’m cancelling my claim I want nothing from him.

Don't cancel your claim, he still needs to pay.

CandyFIosss · 02/05/2021 17:45

He pays £7 we don’t need it I’m cancelling it to cut all ties

That’s really rubbish, what a horrible thing to do on a child’s birthday, I don’t get “fathers” that act like this
