hi there
another issue ... my DH's lovely DSs are not allowed contact by their mother with the grandparents on her side (i.e. her own parents). One of his kids lives with us, the other with her. whilst we can obviously control/manage what "our one" does with his time, it is more difficult with the other boy who lives with his mum. He is a great kid btw.
However we feel it is wrong that their mum does not facilitate any kind of contact for them with her parents (she fell out with them a few years ago and does not speak to them at all). They live near us and have been wonderfully supportive and kind to both of us.
We have therefore been facilitating lunches/occasional overnights as feel it is important for the children to have contact with grandparents and vice versa.
The boy that lives with his mum has said it is a bit of a problem as he feels he has to hide this from his mum as she would go mental if she found out as he would be "betraying" her....
difficult to know what to say other than we are trying to do the right thing... any advice?? DS knows really, deep down, that it is the right thing too but is probably fearful of reaction if his mum found out...
