...to be angry at him?

After ex-h and I split he moved abroad for work and I stayed in our family home with our son who is 6.

We get along ok so whenever ex-h comes back to the UK he stays in our house in the guest bedroom. However, he only comes back roughly once every 6 weeks (for about 5 days) and whenever he does he tends to whisk ds out for brilliant days out/holidays, etc. Basically a Disney Dad.

I don't mind this but this week on his social media I saw he'd put up a photo of him and ds out and about having fun with the line, 'Had next to no sleep this week but I don't mind because being a Dad is the best thing in the world.'

I'm guessing I am BU to be weirdly angry about this but all I can think is... you only do typical dad stuff once every 6 weeks so of course it's the best thing! Where are you when the vomit needs cleaning up?

Why do you actually care what he posts on SM?

And do you really think that people are honest on SM though, really? It's all filters and fakeness

Also we didn’t he get any sleep with a 6 year old?! He must not be very good at this dad stuff…!

Always annoying when the other parent wants praise for small things when you do the majority.

But, the situation could be a lot worse and I'd probably just let it go.
