My daughters father and i have an arrangement through mediation that he sees her every 5th day at certain hours. The arrangement is that he picks her up from my place & I then pick her up from his place! Shes 2 & does not have any sleep overs with him as yet bc at this stage he has proved incapable of doing so.
I wasnt feeling well yesterday and it was the day he was meant to pick up our daughter. I advised him via txt that i wasnt feeling well and because of the meds the doc gave me i wasnt allowed to drive as they made me feel very drowsy.
He calls me saying 'well what do i do now' i'm there 'well you can pick her up but unfortunately you will have to bring her home too as im not allowed to drive' he's there 'well i really dont want to do all that travelling, so will come to your house instead' i'm there 'you cant bc i need to rest' oh my God why did i say that. I didnt hear the end of it. I said 'there will be times where i am not well, that does not mean you cannot see your daughter, i actually need to rest' .. He never picked her up!
I was so annoyed! I just dont get it. Whats your advice IM's, i'm just over this BS! TIA

Yep it's annoying
Yes definitely be annoyed, you need rest and it is his agreed upon time to spend time with his child. If he was feeling ill you would probably do the driving so your girl can have a relationship with her dad. He's being very immature. Hope it all works out for you and hope you get well soon IM. X
I would be annoyed to. Could he have not taken her somewhere local for at least a couple of hours if travelling was an issue?
