Any advice please. I won't go into up much detail. My partner and 1 stopped living together over 7 years ago we still together in many ways. We have two teenage children. After we stopped living together his family started being a bit disrespectful. My children go down every week for tea which is nice I was invited at Christmas for tea but said no . The problem is my children have said my exs mum has called me miss happy and his brother has said i am miserable. Last week my daughter had PE she collided with another girl and really hit her head the school said she felt dizzy. So I said to Dd you will not be able to play rugby or do gym because of you head bump just to be safe. They went for tea and his mum is going on saying she's wrong . My son as saying no I think you are advised not to play sport. I just felt she was trying to make me look stupid. My ex doesn't say anything to his mum she has 5 sons and they will not have anything said against her. I am not bothered so much what they think but it's what they say. Am I being over sensitive .

Head injuries are serious. I know a girl who ice skated and hit her head. She didn't rest and insisted on training. It caused lasting damage and now she can't even drive let alone skate again. You are her mum and can be confident in your decisions as you know her best. My MIL is just like this and I pay her no attention. It is hard, but it is not her decision, it is yours. Your ex should support your parenting decisions when it comes to your child's health, but sounds like he won't speak up. That is what is shameful here.
