My daughter is separated from her husband and have two young children. They both work full time and I provide an average of 30 hours childcare per week. The father has unrestricted contact with the children, however, my daughter has to provide her home as a place for him to see them as he refuses to move from his shared house to provide a suitable place to take them.
This is nothing to do with finance as he earns good money.
He tells us different stories about his hours of work to avoid committing to set times for child care. It means I have to be available 7 days 24/7 and then he tells us the day before if he is seeing the children, or he will just phone when they are in my care to say he is coming to see them. It is impossible to reason with him. I just want to know in advance when I can have some free time.
I am at the end of my tether, anyone else had similar experiences?
