Am I enabling inconsistent contact with my two-year-old's dad?

Solo parenting …..

Interested in an outsiders opinion.. me and my daughters dad broke up nearly a year ago now. Ive had months of bombarding me with messages and asking for money - that seems to have calmed down since Christmas. He banged on about wanting 50/50 eventually.
He’s yet to pay money it’s always I will in a couple of months … and told me if I go child maintenance route he will quit his job for me having no respect for him.
Anyway he keeps saying give me a chance to get on my feet my argument is it’s been nearly a year!
She’s 2 now and she’s suppose to go to his 2/3 days a week but he hasn’t seen her for the last 12 days because he said it was “bad weather” - he don’t drive, he had a back neck. Back headache. I take her and pick her up everytime he has her.
Then will tell me he’s sad cause he hasn’t seen her like what’s your options honestly I can take it. I haven’t got the energy to go to court or take his rubbish if I challenge his behaviour he’s always a victim. Like am I just enabling him seeing her ? I feel like there’s no valid reason to stop contact… but does it just carry on like this forever ?? She’s gonna get to an age where she understands he’s letting her down …

Stop this now. CMS for maintenance. Your child is entitled to it.

Let him go to court if he wants contact and they take a very dim view of fathers fucking about like this.
