Visitation Schedule - WWYD if He doesn't want holidays?

Anyone had a STBX who didn't care about having the kids on holidays?  STBXH and I met up today to review the holidays so when my attorney writes up the decree proposal, we don't have to go back and forth much.

He tells me he really doesn't care about any of the holidays except for Christmas.  He didnt' even care about having the kids on Fathers Day! According to him, if it was his weekend then fine, but otherwise it's just another day to him.  I was a bit annoyed because the kids are going to know it's Father's Day and want to be with their dad.  He finally agreed to have them from 8-5 that day.

I'm just amazed at how someone could just not care about spending holidays with their children.

    Yeah more special days for you!

    The kids won't really know to get excited for father's day w/ him if you don't play it up..just have them give him what ever popsicle stick craft they made at school on the weekend he has them A  R  O U N D father's day and that's good enough for him then it's good enough.

    I will definitely enjoy the extra time with my girls.  The sad part is he's a good dad to the girls.  I just wish he wanted to spend more time with them because they need their dad in their life!  I just don't get it...guess I probably never will.

    My thoughts exactly. I think by the time my ex is allowed to have the generic shared holiday schedule, he may not want it. LO has to be three before he gets any overnights and he was so PO'd about not getting Christmas this past year he just didn't celebrate it with her. So his loss, my gain. His visits are already getting farther apart.
