Separated from daddy, with toddlers

I've posted elsewhere about the breakup, would really like some support.
My toddlers are 2 and almost 4, 4yo is missing her daddy a lot and just came home in bits from going to see him for the day.

Feeling like the worst mum /person ever 🙁

Can they keep a basic diary to show him on his days? What they did at school with pics, fav meal of the week sort of thing. Means you have to help at their age but easing them into a new life is hard.

That's a fantastic idea! Thank you so much, I will take them to buy a special daddy diary tomorrow each.
He's an amazing father and I still have love for him, so I don't want them to be apart but if they have to for a while, I'll do anything to help

Do they call or facetime him regularly?
Not separated but dh works away a lot and dc love being able to chat to him and tell him about their day at bedtime

It's 2 days fresh at the moment, so it's a struggle for him at the moment having any contact with me, we've obviously spoken about plans to see the girls and that, but he's taking it harder than me and are still having a bit of space.
I might get them to give him a call tomorrow though, that's a good idea

If it’s easier you could try one of the many apps. Then you can easily add photos of their day etc without any effort and they can show daddy. It can’t be as easily lost or accidentally forgotten as an app.

Ooo never heard of that, good idea though! I'll have a browse
