Ex and I have different views on parenting. It happens and that's how it is. Ex is quite a Disney dad and bought DS an Xbox for Xmas. DS came back after Xmas and subsequent contact times talking non-stop about the Xbox and the games and how my house is rubbish and nothing to do etc. I ignore that - usual transition angst. At mine he has a WII and use of my old DS so has some fun!! I limit time as he can be very tricky to get off these games.
Transition has been very difficult in the last few months - DS takes things to his dads but isn't allowed to bring anything back. So I said why don't you ask your dad if you could being the Xbox back here for the weekend. I don't know anything about an Xbox and opened my mouth probably too quickly - I was thinking about other things.
DS asked his dad. Clearly the answer was No and there were tantrums at mine which I dealt with. Now ex has told DS that a friend of his has an old Xbox he could have at mine.
DS would love it, saves me buying one, but I wasn't planning on buying DS one. I am just irritated that ex couldn't email me and offer, before speaking to DS. I am going to have to accept this aren't I , and with a good grace. . I cant also work why I am so bothered.
