Some of you may remember my post from last night... so I have picked my children (5+2) up from their dads earlier on... they both looked very tired, dirty. My daughter hair is greasy and knotted at the back and they've not had their teeth brushed all weekend because he forgot.. abit of context we split up in January, he has a new partner and that's where they are staying when they go from the weekend- I have it views but that's not the point here.
Now they are both very clingy and crying a lot, my daughter has said she doesn't want to go to daddy's because she doesn't like it there and my 2 year old has been wanting cuddles and repeatedly saying "staying here mummy" and I'll go yes with mummy he will say ok.
Now I've explained to him what they've been like and he's just said "well that's funny because there fine when there with me" I just said well clearly something isn't right because there acting one way with you and another with me

They've been together for about four months and the first time the kids met her they stayed the weekend at hers and they equally came back looking very dishevelled then, this is the second time meeting her

I am concerned at this point because they Have been very upset and clingy both times they've come back

What do I say to them?? Where do I go from here? Advice needed please!

Hello @SophieLouise93. So sorry that your DC don't seem comfortable with the new arrangements.

I'd ask @MNHQ to move this over to the Relationship board. You'll find posters in there who have been through similar situations Flowers
