Putting together a plan to leave H. Due to his shift work I would have the DCs the majority of the time and it’s possible that he would have them 1-2 nights per week. I would never stop him seeing DCs before work/after work etc.
My issue is that stbexh does very little with the children. He doesn’t take them out on his own, on a day off it is me that suggests taking them to the park/softplay/beach etc. It has been a massive issue since they were born (oldest is almost a teen now and we have a younger DC) that he won’t take them anywhere on his own when I’m in work all weekend. They are left to their own devices in the house while he is on his phone or playing video games. It does not cross his mind to take them for an hour to the park. He rarely reads to them or played with them/taught them to ride bikes etc.
My issue now is that I know that they will do nothing when they are with their Dad, he obviously cooks them meals and has very occasionally started to take our almost teen out on his own but that’s rare.
Is anyone in a similar situation? Financially obviously I’ll be the one forking out for entry for various things, bus fares, food out while he does nothing 😔
