Is this true?
DP seems to be pinning a lot of hopes on the DSC suddenly deciding to see us more (or even move in ) when they hit 14 and can officially decide for themselves how often to come over.
Does this really ever happen or is he deluded?
Also he is under the ilusion impression that when they grow up they will see their Mum for what she is and be 'on his side'. He often mentions showing them the divorce papers showing that she committed adultery with their stepdad and he thinks this will make them realise what really happened. Personally I feel a bit uncomfortable with that and think he is setting himself up for a big disappointment and will just upset them.
My gut feeling is that their Mum won't just suddenly back off when they are 14 and I think if anything they will want to stay at home more when they are teenagers as they will want to spend more time with their mates.
They adore their Mum as all kids do and I wish he could see that whatever she did/does to him, she will always be their Mum.

Do they really vote with their feet when they are teenagers?
