Ok so my kids go to their dads house every other weekend and on the weekends the kids are there I work (I work m-f as well)...Well one of my kids are sick with the tummy bug so i called to let EXDH know he said OK I will be there an about an hour to get them....20 minutes later I get a call from him saying he will no longer being picking up the kids this weekend because his wife doesn't want a sick child at their house all weekend...I explained to him that was not an option because I have to work and can't just call out especially since I had to call out 2 days this week as it was to care for our other child who had it earlier in the week...He said he was sorry however he was not in the mood to fight with his wife about this....
So now I am pissed!!! I understand that our child is sick, however since he doesn't work weekends I feel he should have to suck it up and care for our sick child so I can go to work...I even offered to pick up the kids after work and drop them back off tomorrow on my way to work so they don't have to take care of the sick child all night as well..
So why do I have to take time from work to stay home with the sick child when he can easily care for the child since he will be home all day? I could understand if he had to work and the SM did not want to care for the child,however that is not the case here...
****EDIT***This is his weekends with the kids.....yes they have 1 together, however that is not reason enough for me to miss work because when their child is sick I am still made to send my kids to his house around their sick child....I just called and asked him if he could come to my house for the day and spend it with the kids while i worked he said no because that wouldn't be right to his wife...
Quoting BEXi:Does the SM have her own children?
Quoting Anonymous:when they are sick during the week I take time from work to be home with them....I missed 2 days of work this week because my youngest was sick....I just feel like on his weekends I should not have to call in just so he doesn't have to care for his sick child...When his kids are sick he doesn't have to call in and miss work because I am there to care for the kids, yet I have to miss work and then struggle even more that month that doesn't seem right...
Your right as a mother we have to expect illness and what not however he is there father and he should have to care for them as well
Quoting BEXi:Honestly? Im on SM's side. I wouldnt want a contagious child with a stomach bug at my home either.
As a mother, we have to expect illness emergencies when it comes to our children. What do you do when they get sick Monday-Friday?
I'm with you on this one. He should be just as responsible for seeing to his sick child as you.
yes they have a 3 year old together, however that is not a good enough reason to me because when their DD is sick I am still made to send my kids there for their visit and I have to take the chance my kids will get sick from their DD so why shouldn't he have to care for these kids when their sick?
