What to say when X does not show

The kids and I sat down when my divorce was finalized and marked on the calendar when they get to go to X's. He has not been showing up on Thursdays to pick them up. What should I say to the kids when he is a no show. He has also been bringing them home early.

I had the same problem. I just made it a point to not tell the kids that Daddy was coming. That way if he showed; great. If not, then his loss. It has been 5 years and he is more consistent with his visitation. His mom actually picks them up because if he is not around, she still wants to see them.

My situation is a bit different as xh lives in another state and visitation is infrequent at best... Last year, xh saw Joey three times and that was it.
