My friend has 3 kids with her ex husband. They were together 15 years, he is a brilliant dad, has the kids every other weekend from picking up at school friday to dropping at school monday and the weekend they aren't together he has them for tea twice a week, so definitely a hands on dad. He also takes them on holiday twice a year (uk at easter and abroad in summer)
Friend has 8 year old twins with someone else. The dad of the twins died 5 years ago and friend has brought them up alone.
They are at an age now where they are fully aware of the holidays that their half siblings are going on.
Friend and her ex get on well. She is pregnant again (dad is around). She is due in September and ex has offered to take the twins abroad (Spain) with his 3 children, his wife and their daughter. They'll be going for 2 weeks in August.
Friend has thought it over and has said yes, why not. It will give her a break for 2 weeks when she's heavily pregnant. She hasn't got pay a penny for them.
The grandparents of the twins from their dads side is saying absolutely no way and are threatening to call the police and report him as abducting them if he takes them.
Would you be happy for your children to go abroad for 2 weeks with the father of your other children?
