i split from my childrens dad 2 years ago after a bad relationship, he was never a great dad and my family never liked him (mutual) although they tolerated him. he now sees the children when he chooses and i'm very flexible with him. he sees them at most every 3 weeks for a few hours and 8 weeks in between the last visit.
he comes to my house to collect the kids and they wait by the window for him or outside (their choice) he would never come to the door which is fine by me.
my mum helps me a lot with childcare so i can work. Recently i wanted to start a hobby, my mum has the kids one night for the hobby and i asked my ex if he would collect them from my mums after school on the other night and i would pick them up after , this is me trying to maintain a more regular arrangement which benefits me too, he has said yes but my mum wont let him collect the kids from her.
she does the handover for my sister , her ex is actually being a bigger cunt than my ex has ever been so i dont understand why she will do it for her and not me.
another point, my new partner has collected the kids from her just now and she has told him all about this and tried to get him on side which isnt going to be hard as who likes their partners ex!
the fact my family still has hatred for my ex really pisses me off, it makes it harder for me when i have moved on!
she has offered now to have the children a second night but i feel she is doing this to control when my ex sees the kids.
