DS never knows, I think i'm protecting DS as XH will drop him & pick him up to 'suit work' committments. (honestly if you ask him he supports the whole of his regt single handed - is forces) anyhow typically DS will see him one weekend a month and one day mid month as XH doens't have the money to take him anywhere. not my problem, but anyhow, Unless it's the weekend away I don't tell DS his dad's coming as I don't want to have to look into DS's little face & see the hurt/ upset.
DP however thinks I should be telling DS when his dad's coming (ie should be every other week) and if XH doesn't come then he should be the one to tell DS via phone that he's not (DS won't really talk to his dad on the phone as tbh his dad doesn't bother with him/it).
I just want to protect my son & do the best for him, but DP thinks i'm protecting XH.
