I'm sure i'm being ott but DC's dad only see's them a few times a year, his choice.

He has come to take them out today and was his usual moody, uncooperative self.

I will now spend the rest of the day worrying myself to death that he won't bring them back (he threatened this a few years ago in an argument). I have spent 10 years bringing them up with no support from him or any finanial assistance either. They are my whole life, i would die without them.

I don't ever really want them to go with him TBH but I let them for their sake.

But I am so worried right now that I feel sick.

When are they due back?

MrsSanta · 29/12/2008 13:03

What time are they due back?

stirfry · 29/12/2008 13:03

about tea time, when I said to him what sort of time will you be bringing them back he just shrugged his shoulders. So I said will you have them back for tea and he sort of grunted a yes.

I know I'm being paranoid really but can't bare it

I feel your pain. Can you try and do something to distract yourself?

stirfry · 29/12/2008 13:13

think I might get wrapped up and take dog for a walk.

Are they back?

NAB3lovelychildren · 29/12/2008 17:27

I was just wondering the same thing.

NAB3lovelychildren · 30/12/2008 07:19

Is everything okay?

Flihgtattendant · 30/12/2008 07:25

I don't know your ex, but i would hazard a guess that a man who is so uncommitted as to only see his children a few times a year, is unlikely to want to responsibitly and sheer hard graft of having them around all the time.

I hope he returned them ok and on time. I do feel for you, it's a horrid situation

hi, sorry i didn't reply last night. He actually brought them back earlier than I expected, i think the novelty wears off after a few hours. They came back laden with new DS games and clothes. He won't bother with them again now for months

flightattendant I think you are spot on!
