So if you have a child with your ex, they bang on about wanting to be a dad.. your child is ill but it’s always you who has to take the time off Work when said child is ill…
is it unreasonable to ask them to cover your wages for the days missed (I earn £70 a day, he earns £200/250 a day) I work part time, him full time, I’ve takeNn the last 4 shifts off and he has helped me with wages twice In this time, I now have to take another shift or two off as child is still ill… he said no he’s already helped, so I said fine you take the day off and look after her and I’ll go to work.. he’s flat out refused because “his jobs more important” abs basically laughed at me, even tho he basically Never sees her and would give him a chance to see her like he always claims he wants to. Like I’ve told him before he’s only a dad when convenient for him.
And she was ill for a week in February which I had to take off again with no help from him. He then called me a spoilt brat as my mum sometimes helps with my wages to help me out and he told me to go ask her instead. I have two children to look after, he gets around £3800 a month… all his bills come to £800 so he has £3000 left to save or whatever yet would rather me struggle and his child go without
Thoughts please??? Why is it always the mums responsibility to book child care and cover sick days???!!
