Co parenting

So, I co parent with my daughters dad and so far it’s been going well. I want to start back at work but my BD is refusing to take her for one consecutive day because it will ‘financially hardship’ him to take an extra day off work. He is currently earning over a grand a month and live with his parents still. So I do not understand where all the money is going. He does not pay me child support either. My daughter doesn’t attend nursery as of yet. He already takes her on a Sunday and Wednesday but I’m asking him to take her for a Tuesday Wednesday or Wednesday Thursday as well as Sunday. Am I being to unreasonable? I just want to go back to work and have one day a week alone. He has a much larger support network than me (both parents and step parents, sister, friends) whereas I only have my sister (who works and looks after her own child)

He's a parent too. You are not asking a lot and he needs tobe paying child support. You both have to work inorder to support y'all child. If he has a good support system than have a sit down and y'all cooridnate this that will work in both y'alls favor because its about supporting y'all child and you both being there to be able to finacially support y'all child. He needs to talk to his family about child care or you both start looking into child care and how that will be covered so that you both can work and both be financially well off. Have this hard conversation, because at the end of the day its your daughters well being and basic needs being met on both sides.

Your co-parenting with him is not going well at all! He doesn’t pay child maintenance, he still lives at home with his parents and he has most days throughout the week to himself to do whatever he wants. All your asking for is one extra day so you can work and earn money so you can support yourself and your child considering he isn’t giving you anything. Yet all he can do is think about himself and his well-being! And you call this good co-parenting? He has his child when it’s convenient for him. He’s a waste man in my opinion. He could and should do better by you and his child. Stop seeing the good in people and start seeing the truth in people.

It’s funny (not really) that he’s saying it’s gunna be financial hardship basically no to taking his daughter, like he gets to pick and choose when he has her but from what I read doesn’t contribute. He’s lucky he gets to pick and choose when to and how much of a parent he is, is all I gotta say. You could be making him ACTUALLY take half the responsibility 🥴

Sounds like a baby sitter with same blood
