[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not fair but if you don’t like the way your parenting partner parents - the only thing you can do is do it yourself, in a way you think is better. 
I made peace with it a while ago. [/quote]

This. It sucks when the other parent is a bad parent and doesn't spend time with the kids or make the effort when he could. I bit my tongue about it after the divorce (which I asked for), and did as PP says, just did the parenting myself.  It cost me dearly in terms of finances and my own career but I felt lime my kids needed to have one parent they could rely on. I never said anything to the kids, but by MS/HS/college they could see he was neglectful of them and it was painful to them. He reaped what he sowed in the end.

What are you rambling about.  This is your situation not op.  Dad is clearly involved.  Mom had something else she wanted to do and did not want to take the kids so she dumped them on him last minute.  She expected him to drop everything which isn’t reasonable especially if it is work.  He arranged child care.  Mom does not like the child care he arranged even though the kids are safe and fine.  Mom should have taken the kids with her.  She is the problem.  She did a dump job and is complaining instead of saying thank you.  [/quote]
