DD is 6, will be 7 at end of July.

She goes to ExH EOW for 1 night but due to circumstances (long story) he takes he to his parents so hasn’t had her overnight since August 2020 due to the restrictions. Last night was the first overnight since then.

DD has come back with horrendous sunburn. It’s still burning slightly 2 hours after she came home (got her back at 5.15pm). I’ve done a cool bath, after sun and calpol and she’s still in pain with it.

Messaged ExH to ask about suncream as it looks like he didn’t put any on “Yes I did put some on it was that bottle you gave me” he means the bottle I gave him in 2018 when the Child Arrangements Order was made and I only gave him because my solicitor advised me to give him a bottle so he knows what brand I use (DD has some skin issues which can be made worse by certain suncreams)

“You do know it goes out of date after a year?” I ask, he replies “No I didn’t, and mum didn’t either or we’d have got another bottle” it was all quiet for awhile and then he’s messaged back “Next time you think she needs it send a new bottle, you have to take some responsibility for her”

For context we split in 2017 due to his violence and control. He took me to court and wanted full residency but was granted EOW and 1 night for tea, though only have her EOW.

So AIBU to think ExH should of got a new bottle of suncream or is it my fault for not sending a new one? I sent her yesterday wearing it thinking he’d put more on.

Vote -
YABU - It is your fault and should of sent more
YANBU - It's ExHs fault for not knowing it goes out of date

He is a cock.

my 12yo is allergic to most suncream, so she has to have a specific one i order from Amazon.. i DO take the responsibility to replace it and send it to ExH's every year, because tbh, he'd just stick some generic one on her and i'd end up dealing with her being bright red/swollen for a few days after if i didn't.

He is also a dick.. but honestly, YES it should be his responsibility, but tbh, in cases like this, i just do it for my own peace of mind.
