Hi my daughter is 9 year old and me and her father is not together. She would usually go to her fathers mothers on a Friday to Sunday were he would go for an hour a day then leave his mum to look after her the rest off the time.
she has her own phone and he would call her but she doesn’t often answer or know where she put the phone as she’s 9 and it’s not her main priority to have one she still likes to go out and play.
he blames me for her not answering and last weekend she could not go to his mums or school as she had tonsillitis but on Friday I texted him to let him know she is well again and should be able to go see them that evening to which he replied ‘ I’ve rang her a couple of times and she didn’t answer, it’s too late as I’ve made plans’ now granted she could of still went and seen her Grandmother but the main reason I send her is to see her dad so i decided to keep her with me this weekend and now I’m apparently getting a solicitors letter from him and his mum for no access.
i just don’t think that a grandparent should be left with the responsibility when the actual parent should be there spending time with her, am I being unreasonable?
