He has been a bit of an ass-hat lately hasn't he? I'm with Janice hun, it may be time to make other arrangements to get the children to daycare so you don't have to rely on the unreliable. Plus, if he's pissing you off at the moment it's probably not the first thing you want to deal with nor the first face you want to see in the morning. You'd probably have a much better day or should I say WEEK without him farting around in the mornings.

 This was not a good start to your day sweetie, it doesn't look like things are going to change with him so it might be time to make other arrangements as far as getting the children to daycare....so your not all strung out, you don't need this. You have been doing so well and you don't need any set backs, especially to do with him.

Love Janice

Hey babe, nice vent & you are worthy of it too... I am guessing that you knew this is how it would be, because if he was holding up his end of the marriage in the first place; you wouldn't have split.  The thing is, if you just keep fixing everything and making it right, he will continue to be a loser. 

Get some professional counselling from families Australia or whatever they are called & draw up a parenting plan together... If he continues to be an ass, then you will have something to fall back on proving that he committed to these small concessions to look after his children & isn't capable of them - could be handy if it ever comes down to custody rights.  I know, the rushed drop off doesn't work at all & it would have been a real blight to start your day in that way, however today is a new day & you are a strong capable woman - so smile again ; ) xox

Oh I really feel for you Josie, I've been there and done that!!!

One occasion when my boys were still seeing their dad, he had had Daniel for the night, dropped him at school and within minutes I had a call from Daniels teacher to say Daniel was bouncing off the walls, he hadn't been given his ritalin that day instead his dad had given him breakfast of several packs of "rainbow drops" sweets, basically puffed rice liberally coated in food additives and colourings that always set Daniel off into hyperactivity!!!!!

Willing you on because I know how tough it is when they just don't want the responsibility but seem intent on being a big problem at the same time

Oh that is so frustrating and tough. Too bad he refuses to enter the adult world. One of these days he will run out of excuses and people that care to hear them,karma, too bad beautiful little kiddies are subject to his immaturity. Sending you vibes that things get better!

I haven't been very active on minti lately Josie (i use a private group but i don't look at activity much) and I'm really sad to see that things aren't going well for you :(

I would hate for either of my exs to be involved in my day to day life as they are both (one is a nice person although) totally unreliable and it would make things more difficult I'm not sure what to suggest due to your work schedule? But as cynical as this sounds and i know it does, only put your trust in yourself and the people that are worth it, trusting him to do the right thing will only leave you frustrated (TRUST ME LOL)

You will be ok and things will get easier, lean on those who love you and care about you including your friends here and get through each day at a time, vent as much as you want, people will get sick of it lol but if they are your friends they will listen anyway :)

Take care xxx nat
