So my DP is away in October to see his dad because it's his 70th birthday. I have 2 children and he has 2 children, we live together and have his 2 every weekend and mine every other weekend.
His ex works at the weekend which is why we have his every single weekend (even when she is not working it seems she would rather go out with friends than spend time with her children) with this in mind when he goes to Away there will be 3 weekends where he won't be able to look after them. She has gone mad.
He's trying to sort it out and is asking his mum to come over to have them he's also asked if I would have them for one weekend, I feel like I should help except
A) I was looking forward to spending some quality time with my children, we spent 3 years on our own before he came along and I think both me and my kids miss having time for just us
B) I know she's booked 3 seperate weekends off work where we will have the children and she will be soending time with her friend away.
C) we don't get on at all, pick ups and drop offs will be very awkward and also she may be working in the day but if she's out in the evening I'll feel like she's taking the pi55.
Would you say yes and have them while dp's away??
