I agree with this 100%. It’s happened to me with my own father. Up and left without a care in the world and now years later expects me to drop everything when contacts, but it’s all on his terms. At the time left us all with nothing and honestly did not give a tit either. Sorry to derail the thread but my point is that there is deadbeat men out there that have nothing to do with their kids.Tbh I believe her when she says there’s no contact at all and I’d say the twins haven’t an iota of who he is. Why is it so hard for some people to believe that some men just get up and leave and don’t bother to have any contact and then feel they can walk back into their kids lives on their own terms whenever suits. It actually annoys me that this topic goes around in circles so often but I’ve no doubt in my mind he is in Australia without a care in the world and his kids are an afterthought and a stop off among many during his visit home. I’m sure he’ll take loads of photos and plaster them all over his Facebook for the next few years to make him look like dad of the year. Sure the baby ones he is currently using aren’t going to last forever.
It happens.
Why should she? Her family is here, they give her support. There is no justification for him living in Oz and never seeing those kids. I don’t care how annoying she is, he is in the wrongJust to balance the argument why didn't Julie relocate to oz. Why should he have to give up whatever he's worked for to come home to no job/ career and be allowed see his kids for an hr or 2 on a Sunday.
From what I can see he's not far away enough from her.
But she did in the beginning did she not? They were over there so made that decision to begin with?Why should she? Her family is here, they give her support. There is no justification for him living in Oz and never seeing those kids. I don’t care how annoying she is, he is in the wrong
She came home though. The children are here. Even if he had to go back working he could have had contact on the phone on face time etc. I cannot and will not make excuses for a man like that. Nobody shouldBut she did in the beginning did she not? They were over there so made that decision to begin with?
How do you know he doesn't? Because Julie said so? I don't for one minute think the twins aren't aware they have a Dad on the other side of the world. I also don't think for a minute he's not paying maintenance. They mightn't understand 'why', but they're old enough to have asked by now 'where's our Dad'.Even if he had to go back working he could have had contact on the phone on face time etc.
I don't believe a word julie says.... she's a manipulative twit..How do you know he doesn't? Because Julie said so?

Of course they know they have a dad. I didn’t mention maintenance but I’ve no doubt he pays it however maintenance alone is not enough when it comes to parenting.How do you know he doesn't?
