So broke up with my childrens dad 2yrs ago, he's what I call a fb dad now,
He is spose to have our children every Sunday he picks them up at 1 till whenever could be 3 or 8 there's no routine with him.
Anyway I say he picks up every Sunday, 1st my youngest (who's 6) 99%of the time won't go with him, it has been 3weeks since we have seen or heard from him expect on the Sundays 2 say he can't make it.
Well of course he has them today 4 Xmas posts all on fb how lucky he is,makes himself look like a fab dad 🙄comes to dropping them off and oldest decides to stay with him the night tells me 2mins before they arrive so I can pack her bag.
This is the 2nd time this has happened it was 6weeks last time then he saw them again n eldest stayed telling me 2mins before hand
Aibu that I feel hurt/annoyed by this.
My eldest dotes on her dad. Sad to say it breaks my heart this will be the 2nd time she's ever stayed away from home I look after my kids 99% by myself he just swoops in when he likes n goes again. He doesn't do anything with them just goes to his mums or his flat, has never took them anywhere not even a park, yet my youngest isn't bothered my eldest pretty sure she would live with him if she had the choice.
Breaks my heart

You're not unreasonable to feel it's unfair. She's just a little girl trying to get her Daddy to love her though, and it's sad he isn't more interested. Maybe best to try to make things a bit more formal with your ex, so that you know when to expect she's staying away, that would sting less.

Ahhh thats true bless her, There no talking to him, I said a lil warning would've been nice to I don't need to ask to have my child, child he's let down 3weeks on the run.... its funny he has a total of 6kids and just sees our eldest sometimes the youngest very rare tho. Doesn't bother with any of them. Think I must have separation anxiety I just hate it she's not here with us I no its only 1 nite but I can't stand it 😔

Enjoy your time with your youngest. Your DD is with her dad and having fun. You're the default parent who is always there! She will understand that - right now she misses her dad. I did too at that age and I'm sure my mum would have written a similar post to you. I know my dad for what he was - my mum put in the real work...
