So my partner is due to go and see his kids next weekend, one is away at a camp trip so won't be there and we are uncertain whether he will be going to see them as his youngest more often than not doesn't want to see her dad and would rather stay st Home with her mum and stepsister if daddy only takes them
Park or whatever. He only gets to see them once afortnight.

Today though he turned around and said 'I will be seeing my daughter next week as she has said she wants to see me because she has asked me to buy her some lol dolls and I said I would'. (Conveniently a rather expensive present too at least my eldest is happy to go to a charity shop and pick a toy out the 25p bucket on weeks we may be struggling.)

I simply replied that she shouldn't only
Go to see him if he buys her stuff and pays for big expensive days out and personally I don't think they should expect daddy to buy something Everytime.

He was signed off work I'll this week, so we are £200 short for all our bills as he only got £55 sick pay. We can't afford for him
To buy them both these dolls when I have already has to cut corners and bills even more this month.

Am I being unreasonable?
