In process of divorcing. STBXH moving out in next few weeks. It’s been months of us in the same house but separated.
I have continued (happily) to do the lions share of childcare for DC 2 & 5. The plan is DH will have them around 6 out of 14 days. I’m so sad about this and the prospect of it is breaking my heart.
In laws mentioned to STBXH at the weekend they would happily have our DC for a few days or even a week over the summer so we could both have a break. They mentioned this to DH who said it to me. I said, well if we were still a couple, great, but we don’t need a break at the same time. I’m just not up for being without them any longer than need be.
MIL & I have a good relationship and I want to nurture it. But today she messaged me with same idea.
I seriously don’t get what everybody else is not getting? Why would I want them to go away for a week without seeing them half the time anyway??
What I want to say is they are welcome to have them anytime on DHs time but not in mine! I don’t mean to be aggressive or confrontational but it seems obvious to me.
Do other people see it differently?
