I share custody of our children 50/50 with my exh but I have them more this week as I’m having Saturday to Sunday morning as he’s gone away with his wife for the first week of Xmas holidays. That’s fine, we do help each other out on occasion and don’t stick rigidly to the 50/50 order, rather are both quite pragmatic about occasional changes.
The children are ill, both have hacking coughs and flu-y symptoms. Youngest aged six has got really poorly over the last three days and today has been mostly sleeping and on and off crying (very unlike this child). So I told exh via message and he replied “oh well, I’m probably not surprised, wife tested positive for covid last week and we all have been in close contact watching films etc on the sofa”.
I'm a bit pissed off. They KNEW his wife has covid (tests for work still) and did nothing to separate her from the kids - I’d have had them earlier if he’d asked as well! As he knows. But they had “things planned” and “she didn’t feel that bad”
aibu? I know they’re school aged and could have picked it up from anywhere but still. I feel a bit annoyed.
