After a good weekend with the kids, DH was really tired and wanted to drop the kids back Monday morning instead of the usual Sunday night, dss was happy to do this, and phones their mum to let her know and see if it was ok (it was) mum wanted to talk to the kids, see if home work was done ect....when she spoke to dsd 7 she went into near hysterics and said she hated it hear! I'm really hurt by this as I always make the kids feel welcome, have done for the last 4 years. It's getting worse with dsd wanting to go home, dss says she gets into bed with her mum so this explains why she starts winding herself up as it gets closer to bed time, saying she gets scared, wants mum. We get it under control through diversion. It's just, if she talks to her mum it makes it so much worse and distressing for her. I have suggested Unnecessary phone calls be avoided to reduce the stress....aibu?
