The problem is that when I say I can’t have our daughter, the ex-wife throws a right tantrum and tells me that “she’s my daughter and I need to put her first”. Yet when the shoe is on the other foot and she needs to take her away it’s a completely different story. If I could have my daughter full time I would, but this of course could never happen as the law is biased towards the mother!
Here’s another example of her selfish attitude. This year the schools closed for Christmas on the Tuesday, so I asked if I could have our daughter from the Wednesday through to Christmas day; that way I could spend some quality time with her. Usually I pick her up on Christmas Eve and then have to get her back to her mother by lunch time on Christmas day. I thought it would be nice if I could spend the day with her properly for once.
The ex-wife turns around to me and says “She’s my daughter too, and I would like to spend some time with her as well you know!”
I couldn’t believe it. She has her practically every day, picks her up from school and looks after her more than I do during the week and she wants more time with her! Yet as soon as I need a weekend off to do something important, I get a lecture that I never want to spend anytime with my daughter. Apparently she is lumbered with her all the time and would like some time off once in a while!
So come on ex-wives, ex-girlfriends. Give us a break, if we pay our way then let us have our say!
