He actually asked my opinion!
Then correspondence was sent to ex wife. Only when I looked at the correspondence, instead of the 50% of the next school holidays WE had decided on, he added on a day here and a day there and he has ended up asking for 70%!
He also then told me that oldest DSD (age 14) has told him that she is old enough to decide when she comes, so will come when she wants.
This actually means that she will not be allowed back to Mum's when others are with us (because her Mum needs a break, even though she doesn't work at all), but will be encouraged to come at other times also.
When I moved in, I thought I knew what I was getting into, but my goodness, how things have changed. He is supposed to be a part time Dad, but partly due to sheer number and partly due to ex wife refusing to do anything, we are having 1 or some of the children now everyday. Even when they are off sick, he runs round to the ex wifes house and picks up the sick child and brings them home to spend the day with him.
