Child money matters

OK so I don't no if I'm being totally unreasonable to be a bit annoyed so just looking to get some advice. I have 4 children and 3 of them I have every Friday to Monday and 1 I have full time. I have my other 3 children all holidays every day and night even the six weeks. I don't get any benefits for 3 of them just the 1 who I have full time so I have very little to get by on universal credit each month. My ex obviously claims the benefit for them and offers the school vouchers that get given £90 every 2 weeks to help cover food so it's 45 a week for 3 kids I do get by just about putting my own money towards if needs be and I don't begrudge doing that obviously they are my kids too however my ex doesn't even take into consideration my extra gas electricity so on so on and I can't do anything with them but the park and they are too old to be entertained by it. I would like to be able to go on nice days out once or twice I don't no I just feel like some of the benefits could be shared a bit farer over the summer holidays two of my kids also get disability allowance that tbh they never get spent on them. Idk thanks for reading.
