Fun couple of hours with these two ratbags this morning. It's hard when the relationship with your kids has had so many stresses put on it, but all I can do is try to ignore the tests and niggles from outside and just try to make the best of the time and restraints that have been given. I am not allowed to take them in the car, no flexibility is shown in regards to the time I can see them and my time can be interrupted without notice for what ever reason. I hold no cards in this deal. I have to do as I'm told or miss out. Take it or leave it. The parental rights as they pertain to fathers trying to get access to their kids, in this country, are a joke. So often the mother takes full custody and uses that as they wish. Without massively expensive legal costs, on budgets thay are often strained from re-establishing after separation and paying child support, there are very few enforceable options to come to a fair custodial agreement. If you know of any father's rights advocacy groups, I'd love to speak to them. In the meantime, I'll treasure the small moments like this I get. #family #daddydaughterdates #love (at Nelson Bay, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2X_VU6gnoB/?igshid=13x81c7q7sjt5
