So I'm hoping for some advice as I'm stuck on what to do. I have 4 nearly 5 year old twins. They are in pre school and start prep next year. They live with their dad as I had mental health issues when they were younger. I'm so much better now and get them every fortnight weekend.

My mum and I wanted to take them on holiday interstate for 10 days (in Australia so we wanted to take them to Queensland and check out the theme parks) their dad has said no it's too long as he will miss them! Which I totally get but I go 2 weeks without hearing from them or seeing them. He has told me a day before I was meant to have them that I couldn't cause they were going on a holiday for a weekend which just isn't fair. I don't mind but could have given me more notice. I didn't see them for a month cause I had to wait another 2 weeks to see them. Sorry if it's confusing I'm happy to answer questions to clarify I'm just upset and don't feel like their mother anymore. I don't know what kinder they go to, I wasn't allowed to go to their first day there and haven't been told about the first day and prep. I wasn't told when my son dislocated his arm, I found out when the doctor rang me to inform me. There's no court order or anything in place it's all verbal. Should I take it further so there's something written that I should be notified on health and stuff and I want to talk to them once a week on the phone.
