Back in May I had a thread because absentee ExP wanted to take going to be 9mo DS to his parents' house overseas, and leave him there for a week in September. I said no. People here agreed (Phew).
At the time, I said that Ex could possibly take DS to stay with them for two nights only, on the understanding that he would be there all the time himself, and that he would spend a lot more time with DS beforehand.
It is now now, and ex has said he would like to take DS for the two nights, and will stay with him. But, he has if anything spent even less time with DS since May (maybe 4 hours this month).
I have major reservations. Ex knows nothing about DS routine, or about feeding him, getting him to nap etc. DS is still bf morning, late afternoon and at night sometimes repeatedly . I have yet to leave him overnight.
Ex thinks I have moved the goalposts. I think I haven't. He asked when I would trust him to take DS away on his own if not now, and to be honest I could not answer. I wonder if I am being precious, though?
FWIW I have said I will take DS out to visit the family, but only if ex is around as well.
