DH and I divorced 2 years ago. Long story, my mother who I've always had issues with took his 'side' and he now lives with her while waiting for new mortgage
We have 3 DC, 5, 8 and 10.
I have them 4 days a week, he has them 2/3.
I live with my partner and am 3 months pregnant, not planned. Nobody knows yet.
Ex DH has just returned from taking them on a break to his parents house at the seaside with his GF. They had an amazing time.
I wanted to take them away too, pretty short on money at the moment but found a nice farm a couple of hours away for 3 days. I told ex DH I was worried they might not have as good a time with me and that is find it difficult on my own. He said just let them do what they want to do and it'll be fine....
So, I've taken them out, had lunch out, bought them some bits and generally had fun.
Get back to farm, I'm exhausted, have little lie down and say they can watch one episode of some minecraft programme. They watch two and go to put another on, refuse to give remote back and when I take the remote they tell me they had a much better time with daddy, I'm lazy because I've just been asleep and start to sing a song about what a slob I am while dancing around. I definitely not a slob!
I said I'll happily take them back today and they say good. I'm not crying in the bathroom. I feel awful, should I take them home or am I being hormonal? They have had a lovely two days and I don't know what more I could have done?
