I've been with dp for just over a year - although we've been good friends for a long time and my children know him and his kids well, and vice versa. We don't live together but he often stays over and when he has his kids every other weekend, they've chosen to stay at mine. I'm under no illusion it's cos they're so fond of me, it's bigger house, they don't need to share a bed, there's a trampoline, a ps3, kids dvds etc..not much of which is available at their dads bachelor pad . However, dp's ex is a bit of a pain..she texts, and phones after every visit - we did this wrong, the kids didn't like it when I said..., my kids were mean to her kids, it's boring at my house etc etc. Last weekend her eldest said something to their mum when they went home and she went ballistic - I don't know what was said and I don't want to, but there have been blazing arguments between her and dp, abusive texts, shouting outside her house, since then. I want absolutely no part in any of that, and I don't want my children hearing about any of it either - so am I being unreasonable to say to my dp that from now on, when he sees his kids it's at his place on their own and I'd rather not hear anything about any hassles with his ex?
Sorry if I've gone on a bit
