I parent alone as in my ex doesn’t have any involvement and never has, I often hear parents saying how awful it is that their ex ONLY has the children eow. Am I the only one that would absolutely kill for eow off! Is this really considered limited contact? My ex has never had our children so that sounds amazing to me. It’s Xmas day and he never even sent a present or card or even a text not a word from him.

It's absolutely shit for your children and you that their father never sees them

Nevertheless that doesn't somehow make it not shit when a parent only sees their child for 2 days out of 14, that child, and their parent, are still entitled to feel crap about that

I’d kill for that!

Well we don't know what sort of relationship or dynamic you had with your ex. In the eyes of the courts EOW is the bare minium yes OP. Quite frankly it's piss poor my EOW starts on a Saturday 10am till Sunday 6pm.

I have the stroppy DS to settle and get ready for bed as his dad obviously has let him sleep too late the night before. His dad does no school runs, sick days, buys no school uniform or a single pair of shoes all year. He does do 2 weeks of the summer holidays and 1 week at Xmas.

He does pay CMS but I still think its piss poor and it doesn't help me job wise. So I work mornings and some weekends!

The grass always seems greener eyyy.
