It is getting really frustrating for me that I work full time and when I am not at work look after S. She has him 3 evenings per week on a standard week so when I see FB postings that S is where he is because of W it makes my blood boil.
...whilst she sits at home on her benefits (which she only gets so much because of S) and I get to hold it all together.......and somehow she is made out to be the hero mum.
It's quite understandable that you would feel this way rky, but you know what? It's not serving you or the M well at all. It's score keeping. You're better than that, and the hope is that eventually W will realize this. Find a way to let go of it. W wasn't always a deadbeat Mum, I'm guessing.
