Ex leaves the kids on his day

Ex has DTs3 1 day a week and I knew he took them to his mums house.

Whenever I've asked questions about what did daddy make you for tea etc they've always said Nana made us X, that kind of thing. But I assumed their dad was also there.

Then Monday they got back and I asked them how it was seeing daddy, they said daddy wasn't there he was working, we didn't see him.

AIBU to think this isn't on? To take the kids on his day and palm them off on his mum and not even see them?

I texted him about it and haven't got a reply.

Unfortunately you will just have to let it go.

Yes he’s a rubbish dad and your kids are missing out but at least there grandparents are present and involved in their lives. And you also get a day off.
All you can do is focus on the positives of the arrangement

""I know I can't do anything about it but the selfish attitude just frustrates me, and the fact it's facilitated by his mum, she should she tell him to spend time with and look after his own kids."

^^ agree this is incredibly frustrating
