Ex expects extra child care for holiday, but I cannot manage

[Ref5217]

I’m interested in opinions please. I have my children every other weekend and Thursday evenings for food. My ex has told me, not asked, but told me that I am having my children Thursday to Monday so she can go on holiday with her husband. I have told her I cannot do this, due to work Friday and Monday. she has told me that it’s down to me to arrange childcare for the Thursday and Sunday nights. I know I will collect the children from school on Thursday and when I go to take them home, she would have gone on holiday. What can I do about this? I’ve told her repeatedly I can’t do it, but once they are with me, they will end up being with me because they have nowhere else to go!

I know!
I reported it but MN said there’s no reason to think it isn’t genuine.
Apart from the fact the OP posted something extremely controversial and hasn’t bothered to come back. And yet poster after poster will still comment re how unreasonable ‘he’ is being.
It’s tiresome.

What worries me @rainbowstardrops is who benefits when the biggest (I think) predominently female website becomes so hostile it's practically unusable.

I doubt OP will be back as this is either clickbait or he will suddenly feel ashamed at how badly he is parenting. And yes, he should feel shame.

What point?

I wonder what OP would do if the Mum was taken ill and he needed to take them on full time. He seems to think they are a part-time volunteer gig which he can dip into as it suits him.

Do what most men do - drop them to your mum’s when it’s your day and go and do sports/video games/pub outings with you mates.

Why is it just your ex’s responsibility during the week?

So are your kids with you now it’s thur evening @Ref5217

...... or yet Friday evening?

As another pp has suggested - they are at his mum's house for the duration. He's way too busy.
