Basically ex is the definition of a twatweasel. He last saw dd in November and I haven't heard from him at all since early jan when he said "I'm really busy at the mo". No Xmas present, card, call or text for dd, not birthday for that matter last year. She's 2.9. I haven't made any contact either since that text in January coz in my opinion he clearly has no interest and I don't want dd to be around someone who couldn't give a shit. But should I be making more of an effort? He's never since the day she was born (he left when she was 13 days old) had her for more than 8 hours, never overnight.

That's really sad. I suppose you can't force him.. maybe he really wants to get in touch but is scared of issues between you and him/break-up?

after my experiance I would say no

dd rang me today to say her father has yet again let her down - it is his weekend to see her and he only sees her on the saturday anyway - but this weekend he is yet again busy.

It makes no difference to me but dd is yet again left wondering why he can't see her.

So I would probably advise you to leave it, if he needs to be pushed into having a relationship with his own dd then best it isn't forced and then he lets her down when she is older...
