Literally my kids nana took them to the shop yesterday, I was sat there like ummm well this is quiet 🤣, they were gone probably 45 minutes.....that was "a break".

I think Charlie is just pissed off she doesn't have a Sassi type arrangement going on.

Of all the dads on all the shows, Brett has shown himself, so far to be one of the best in my mind. He holds down a regular full time job, has regular contact with his daughter, treats her well and doesn't appear to use her as a pawn. I know we don't see everything but of what we do see...
He is involved and actually cares without anyone having to force him to be.
 
How she has the AUDACITY to say she needs a break when she has every bloody weekend to herself and evenings in the week. I’m lucky if I get 5min in the bathroom on my own. It’s as if Chodder saw that the page had turned direction and we weren’t discussing her dry life anymore that she thought ohh let me throw this in but again it’s BACKFIRED!! 😂
 
Charlie calling Brett a sh*t dad I found funny. At least Brett has been around for Harlow’s entire life, it might not be often but at least he’s there and looks after her. My ‘dad’ left me not even a month after I was born, my mum couldn’t cope for numerous reasons and I was put up for foster care at 3 months old, that family adopted me at 3 years old. If you want to know what a sh*t dad is it ain’t Brett. I’m not picking sides here, they’re both in the wrong but it’s low and shallow to call someone a sh*t parent when they clearly ain’t
 
I totally understand Charlie needing help, she’s obviously struggling and I’m not going to jump on a mum that’s clearly desperate and crying out for help.(I don’t agree with posting clearly private messages though)

But If Brett doesn’t agree to having Harlow 50/50, has she got no family to help and support her? It would be much more beneficial if she stops seeing Oliver as her support bubble (not that she’s sticks to the rules anyway) and just sees her mum/family instead. It really helps me to just have adult company. It doesn’t seem so lonely and hard.

If they split 50/50 then brett will just be responsible for sorting childcare for Harlow while he's at work, Charlie doesn't work many hours at the moment but maybe she would work more if she could, I'm sure care work isn't really suitable around childcare hours, I know when I worked shifts nursery was a nightmare to sort. I had to find a full time Monday - Friday just so I could get my kid in childcare that was suitable for us compared to working part time doing shifts.

I work shift work and there a childminders/nurseries out there that offer flexible days so you don’t have to pay for a full time place. H will be 2 soon so she will get 15 hours free no doubt as a ‘single parent’. I don’t believe for a minute she would work more hours of she could. She needs to put as much effort into finding a suitable job that works for her as she does taking selfie’s in the mirror she’s a joke

Charlie makes me laugh she has every friday to herself and every other weekend. I am with the father of my child and I get....a hell of a lot less alone time. In fact my alone time is when she goes to bed.

Same 🙄🙄 doesn’t know she’s born
 
the fact she called Brett a tit dad is laughable he pays for her has her 2evenings a week Harlow goes to bretts mums every Friday and he has her every other weekend. Ummm where’s your dad Charlie?? He’s not even part of your life and has nothing to do with you, that’s a tit dad. Also does your mum Charlie have Harlow one day and night a week? No! Stop punishing Brett because he and your family are NOT ok with you moving hundreds of miles a way for an absolute joke of a relationship

Agreed that she needs mental health help, but how do we know she’s not asked for that help? It’s not easy to get and there’s a big waiting list. Definitely the definition of kids having kids though.
I don’t think she’s out of order for asking him to be a parent to his kid 50% of the time though.

Agreed, as long as when he does she's happy enough to no longer receive child support and give him half of the money she gets from Universal Credit (just the part she gets because of Harlow obvs). 50/50 should mean just that.

I don’t understand why dads that stick around are applauded. Why is it up to the mums to be the parent 80% of the time? And then they criticised for asking for help? Maybe Charlie wants Brett to help 50/50 so that she can actually work, as care jobs require difficult hours that she can’t get childcare for and even if she could, it would basically be her entire wage. Brett has Harlow 29/168 hours a week and you guys think that’s enough? Why does he get a social life where he can get drunk, go out partying with friends, have a work life etc while she has to look after the child they both made together.

But (and correct me if i'm wrong) Brett has Harlow every Friday night (or maybe his mum does) and then every other Saturday night- how does she not have time to go and party and get drunk with friends?

And also the work life - she will get childcare mostly paid for for Harlow so there is no reason why she can't get a job (others have said there may be problems with shift work but that ain't Brett's fault)

For me personally my sons dad has never been involved- so while I'm not saying Brett couldn't do anymore than he is I just just feel sympathy for Charlie really
