My STBXH is looking after our 3 DC a couple of days each week during the school holidays - daytime only. he collects the children before I leave for work and then drops them back when I return. He has advised me, through his solicitor, that on the days that he has the children, that he will not have them overnight (even though he will be having them 3 days on the trot) as he catches up with his work when the children have gone home. He is giving his solicitor the impression that he is stopping work during the day to care for the children - which is not the case, hence the reason for no overnight stays even though as soon as the DC leave his he is straight round his girlfriends.
As it is now the school holidays, the children (obviously) want to stay up later of an evening, and I see nothing wrong in this (they are 14, 10 and 7). However, due to the fact that they are staying up later, I feel they need to spend later in bed in the morning before their dad comes to collect them. I have advised my STBXH that as this is happening, that he will have to give them breakfast.
I have received communication from him (and not through his solicitor this time), stating that if I do not feed the children before they go to his, then he will send them back into the house to be fed by me, as he may be going straight to an appointment.
AIBU to allow my children to stay in bed later in the morning due to the later bedtimes, and then expect their dad to feed them breakfast?!?
