Finding this really frustrating - ex is meant to have the kids every other weekend and one night in the week for dinner. The dinners have fizzled out and now it's generally only every other weekend. He's now messing me round with this, this is my only time to do anything and he's text today to say he won't be having them as he's got a minor op on Monday and has to isolate however he will see them Sunday before he goes in (so won't be isolating) I have plans and need I'm going to loose about £50 in deposits for things I now can't attend. He also doesn't pay a penny towards the children. I've given him some leeway as a family member died last week but I feel at some point he needs to pull himself together, he's still been able to take my eldest to football etc so no excuse why he isn't seeing the children. I know I can't force him to have the kids but it's really annoying me and upsetting the kids who don't know what's going on half the time expecting to see him then not.
