At least they have a grandma and cousins that care about them. They are old enough to start to see dad's true colors - focus instead on the extended family on dad's side that choose to be part of their lives.

I was wondering when the MRA post would show up.
I think this was OP being sarcastic.

Sorry. My ex didn’t pick up this morning. It’s been hours of excuses and rescheduling. DD is now livid. They have no idea how awful this makes kids feel.

I have one of those too.
The only consolation is that kid won’t be glued to a screen for hours on end.

Not OP, but a lot of 15 year olds run off the rails because they are on their own afterschool for hours. In our family, the rule is sports or some other club.

That really sucks. At least they have you and their other relatives. Have they talked to a school counselor or therapist?

All you can do is document and then file for a new parenting plan. He probably just wants the 4 nights to reduce his CS.

I am sorry. But I would go easy on his mom. At least she is stepping up where he won’t.

First he tried to get me to keep them on his weekend, and when I refused, now he is outsourcing it to his teenaged niece (school pick up), brother (two hours after school) and mom (pick up the kids at 5 PM and take them home with her). This is all 24 hours before his visitation is supposed to begin. He sees the kids four nights a month. Apparently however that's too many for his social life. This is not an unusual circumstance.
It makes me so angry and sad on behalf of my kids that I picked such a crappy father for them. And I love my MIL but it also makes me angry that she enables him. He only has to adult four nights a month; why is that so hard? Ugh.
How old is he, how old are they?
