Every handover, he acts like DD(nearly 5) is being wrenched from his arms and he'll never see her again - although it's never going to be more than a few days. She sobs dutifully while he soothes her. I can easily stand there like a lemon for 10 minutes while this is enacted. As soon as he is out of sight, she perks up.
DD was looking thoughtful this morning. When I asked, she said ex has said to her "But what if I [ex] am kidnapped while you're with your mum?" Who on earth would want to kidnap him? But poor kid, she had an escape strategy all planned out for him. Why would a grown man try to get a small child to worry about his well-being like that?
Grrrr. So glad he is an ex. Don't get me started about how he moaned about his backache while I was pregnant....
