My DCs spend 2 nights a week with their dad. He and his DW are expecting a baby very soon, and his mother in law has come to stay with them in their very small flat for 2 or 3 months. DCs have been telling me that their dad and his DW have been rowing a lot lately. Seems they have huge clashes in how to bring up a baby - she is Japanese so I think there are cultural differences. I'm worried about the impact on my DCs. I'm worried about the rows themselves. My DCs are both looking forward to having a new baby (half) brother but I'm worried that if it all falls apart he could be taken off to Japan and they'll never see him.
Me and my ex have always had a fairly amicable relationship with flexible arrangements for when he has the DCs. I'm not sure whether to offer to have them more than usual for the next few months. Or let him have contact at mine? (Not a problem in a practical sense as I spend most of the time at my BF's when they're not here) Or what else I can do to mimimise the fall-out on my DCs? Feel very helpless in the situation. If they're rowing now, when it's not even been born, how is it not just going to get worse? Any suggestions?
