to think its not ok for ex to play cricket on his day with the dc ?

[rednailpolish]

.... because he's playing cricket for several hours and the children are at the ground "watching" (ie largely unsupervised)... the dc are 8 and 5.... I am really unhappy about it and have said I would rather have the children back.... he says i'm irrational, mad and over reacting....

he could pay on eof the teenagers at the club to look after them. they only need to be able to fetch him if the children really need him. he could then play, and childen get supervision. it is not reasonable to leave the children without supervision. you can't watch children and umpire/bat/field properly

Red, chill out you are too intense about your parenting. Hey, they could only get run over in the car park, what is the problem??????

I think getting a teenager/ baby-sitter to sit with them is a good plan - though still could be a long day for them all.
