It's beginning to grate.
I have my children fulltime, no shared care with their Father. When I have met Men with children who see their children regularly, weekly. I've noticed when they have their children they're not available and suggest a date when they're free. Not thinking I also have my children on that date.
I arrange a babysitter for dates. I don't see why it can't work both ways.
I can understand more for very young children but less so older children and teenagers.
I do all the mundane day-to-day things for my children and want quality time with my children too. Not only when someone else isn't having quality time with their children.
Does anyone else find this? (I do also work FT) Or AIBU?
(I found this pattern in a previous relationship. Free access to his teenage children whenever he wanted and would occasionally see them in the week and they'd spend every weekend with him and he wasn't ever free at weekends day or eve).
Yes children do come first but this also includes my own.
