Who pays?

[hippityhoppityhelp]

Please help. My job has changed and now I have to work 5 days a week, longer hours for the same pay or lose my job due to a drop in price of something my job centres around. I am going through a divorce. My ex works 2 days one week and 3 the next. So it is fair, I am proposing that out of the 10 school pick up/drop offs that we do 5 each. However I work away from home 2 nights a week/3 days so I can’t do the school pick ups on Monday mornings (I have to leave for work at 6 am), Monday evenings, Tuesday mornings, Tues evenings and Wednesday mornings as I work. I pay for my children to go to before/after school club Wednesday evenings, Thursdays and Fridays before and after school. My ex won’t split the costs of the childcare. He says I should pay more as I work more days. We both earn the same amount of money. Who is right?

YABU he shouldn’t pay half
YANBU he should pay half

'Simples' gives me the rage.

I mean, I know OP said his days in work can't be changed....but if he could have the children on his non-working days he wouldn't need childcare and it wouldn't cost him money.
The reason he can't have them those days is because OP works away the other nights so Ex needs to have them then...on his working days.
So OPs working pattern does mean they are compromising.

These things can't be helped but I can sort of see his point, but also how OP would feel this is grossly unfair.
