I have lived next to my neighbour for 11 years and have a great friendship with her but am struggling to agree with her re this situation!
She has 4 children who see their dad every 2 weeks for a day. Dad chooses to have no other contact with chn outside of this day despite the oldest having phones.
Friend has complained for years that ex did not contribute financially with the exception of cms recommendation of £14 per week for all 4 which has subsequently stopped since he got a new GF with who he now shares a child with
Friend text him on friday telling him he will need to bring clothes and shoes for all chn in order to collect them. He turned up on sat empty handed causing an absolute racket on our cul de sack by repeatedly blaring his horn shouting for the children. She shouted out the window that he doesn’t contribute a penny to the upbringing of them and everything they own she has had to struggle to buy
He replied with a barrage of insults that the chn could hear that he never wanted a family with her in the first place and his new child is the only one he ever really wanted
I love my friend but i feel as though she made a bad decision
