To be completely annoyed about my DC dads actions (or lack of them)

It was school holidays just gone and not a single day did my child’s father sort out arrangements for them. Their dad is self employed which is used as the excuse for never having DC on sick days/holidays. he has never sorted out the school holidays. I have just found out that this upcoming week him and his partner are jetting off for a holiday all week. But couldn’t arrange one day for DC in the holidays?!
I didn’t say anything because am I surprised? No.
When he is with my DC he is great with them and they love seeing him. However when it comes down to hospital appointments, dr appointments, dentist etc it’s a no go. I’m really upset and angry.
I know my DC look at me as a moaning mother and dad as the fun one but look at the whole picture, my life has been sacrificed not his (which I of course would always do in a heart beat for my DC but it’s frustrating when he does not help with the important things and is only around for the fun!)

What a selfish dick. Imagine going on hols with new partner and not taking your own children anywhere ?! That’s very sad.

Yep selfish man. I would be angry too. Did he not even see them? How is he explaining the holiday to them.

Well you know what he’s like by the sounds of it so no point expecting different
