This is really a vent.
Live in a regional country town. Broke up with my x before our 2 year old was born and we also have a 3 year old. He's sees them every weekend, recently started having both overnight.
This has caused him to worry about me having free time. I work, stay fit, eat healthy and hope I look good for me age.
I've slowly started to have the smallest of social lives which means I have a few friends, don't go to the pub and haven't got a new boyfriend.
But, his jealously is driving me mad. He's so concerned about what I'm up to when I have no children to the point of basically throwing the kids out of the car at drop off with no communication about their weekend of goodbye. Called me nasty names, just to make me feel bad then sped off. (I'd been out to lunch, had my hair done and was looking a little more glamorous than usual).
I'm over it, kids were in tears and I was left to pick up the pieces.
I'm thinking of making pick ups and drop off at the police station reception to make him improve. His family don't need to deal with this crap and have already tried contact centre but he abused the staff and they won't accommodate our change overs anymore.
Anyone else do police station changeovers?
Want to strangle my stupid x:-)

No but I have done supervised change over before. Register with one of the services who can handle change over one was provided by anglicare in darwin it cost $5 a change over but they also provide reports on conduct and can report adverse behaviours to the court. Even being a small town there should be those who can arrange it...even if they do use the police station to conduct the change over its the reporting you want as well.
If you have tried the contact center for changeovers and he behaved in such a way take it to the court if he can't be civilised wtf is he doing in front of the kids when there is no one else there to witness. The contact center should have provided you with reports. Its why they exist misbehaviour at a contact center is enough to get visitation revoked.
I agree, the fact that a contact centre won't supervise him, means he probably shouldn't have the kids!
There is something wrong with this guy as any reasonable person would be on there best behaviour in a contact centre.
I'd be seriously reconsidering if dad should have access at all. And I usually think there should be a 50/50 care so if I'm questioning this.....
