I am afraid my prediction is that he will be continuously difficult about the DCs equipment and arrangements.
Then eventually contact will fizzle to less than one night every other weekend. Why? He is just one of those men who can’t put their children first. There are many of them. The signs are all there, not having beds, having the wrong mattress, not having plates and cutlery, asking you what the shampoo is, asking for clothes, nappies changing drop off arrangements for your son’s weekend sports club, trying to change arrangements for the hair cut. He will never step up properly. However much ‘freedom’ he has won’t be enough to make him feel happy. He just can’t take adult responsibility. He probably has that dismissive avoidant type personality behind it all.
Mine reached a point where he kept causing problems over ‘his’ weekends until he only saw DD twice a year. He lives an hour away. On one of those two times a year he saw her he complained that driving to collect her was hugely inconvenient, as his gf had invited people for lunch and he wanted to be able to drink with their meal rather than drive. So I did 363 days a year. He did 2 but even that much freedom was still not enough to stop him complaining about the inconvenience.
There’s basic psychological issues behind these patterns. You can’t make them become a competent equal co-parents. Also it is more damaging to the DC, if these reluctant men are forced into parenting.
I eventually learned that it was not my job to encourage, train or even psycho-analyse my exH. I needed to shift the spotlight away from him and his motivations, and focus the spotlight on my and the DCs life, leaving him in the shadows. .
