Interested in people opinions on who is responsible for organising childcare on the non-resident parent’s weekend when the non-resident parent is unable to have the kids.

Due to work etc. I have never made any guaranties that I will be able to have them every other weekend and during the week for an evening meal.

I can only see this happening once possibly twice a year. I understand this may cause the ex some inconvenience but should I be organising a weekend of childcare for them if I can''t have them as I''m being told I should.

Thanks

If it''s your weekend to have them and you can''t then if your ex relies on you having them for some reason then it would be best if you could make some arrangements for child care.

Ultimately no one can force you to have them but my advice would be to avoid conflict at all cost and communicate with your ex about it.
