Split 8 years ago, very amicable usually and co parent well. Both have other partners for the past 5 years and although have the odd (and I mean odd) spat we are very much for the kids. I want to send the text below but unsure if I'm being unreasonable. A is my oldest and 11 year old. Have a younger son who I haven't asked about this so just taking A's POV...
Hey just wanted to double check something with you.
A came back from yours Sunday and when watching the football said that he didn’t want to stay in the lodge we had booked before flying out from Manchester because you had said and in his words “it was rubbish” and “gran and dad were giving looks when we spoke about it”
Not that we need to justify but I’m genuinely hoping A has the wrong end of the story here and/ or has misunderstood the interaction that’s went on.
We showed A for the third time where we were staying before flying out and he is genuinely excited and said when we showed him “I don’t know why they think it’s rubbish”
I know I haven’t sent accommodation details cause we’re not that OTT and assume we do the best for the kids but just want to get this sorted out as A was pretty adamant that this is what has went on and if so then I’m genuinely a bit miffed by it considering we work hard and save hard for a holiday each year.
