Hi there im currently having trouble with ex girlfriend we have been split up for 4 years and have a child 5 years old,we have always got on fine and i dont doubt her skills and isnt a bad mum but im facing two situations


she is refusing my parents to see our daughter and her excuse is they never showed interest in her growing up and she is refusing day trips
when they want to take her away and its same reason over and over
my mum and dad both work full time and my dad shifts and for a few years my mum was also a main carer of my sick gran aswell as working full time and dad helping,and they showed interest when i took her round to theres and are generous to her at birthdays and christmas and more so since gran died they showed more entuasim but my ex will not let go of the opinion they didnt care no matter how much try to explain things its starting to effect how we get on,she is very stubborn on this and im stuc k in the middle my parents think everything is fine and im trying to keep calm this situation and getting frustrated

the 2nd issue is im getting to see her less and less this week is half hour out whole week and its been couple hours a week since last summer when went started school i offer nights to keep her over and stay with parents to but its a no again and weekends they just go off or she goes with niece never see her when im off and her mum knows my shifts

im peaceful person and dont like arguments im starting to think legal route to see her more as cant think what to do as negotiating isnt working and i feel walked over and i dont want my daughter growing up thinking i dont care any advice welcome thank you in advance.

    It would be best if you could work out something thats agreeable to all of you but if you really can't make her see its best for her daughter to see you and her grandparents then you might have to go the legal route.. if you explain this to the ex and that if you can't agree you will have to take advise she might be more amenable.. its never an easy course when a child is involved... good luck
