Hello,I put a post on here a while ago about allowing my children to spend time with there dad,this post got alot of hate so I would appreciate it if people didn't post nasty comments and just offered advice.We both originally agreed that he would not see them when this pandemic started due to the fact he is a bus driver,our daughter has asthma and I am currently pregnant (30 weeks now) We then agreed it was time he stated seeing them again as we don't know how long this will go on for.After he had them my children came home saying they hadn't stayed 2m away from people and that daddy had said they would be breaking more rules next weekend.Once I heard this i decided he would not be seeing them again.This has caused alot of drama and even threatened court proceedings.I don't want to drag my children through the courts but also want to do my best to keep them and myself safe.I was just wondering if there are any other ladies in a similar position and what they are doing or if they had any advice? Ultimately I want to do wats best for me and my family but I don't know what that is atm because I feel so conflicted.
Thanks

Hiya

My daughter is seeing her Dad, step Mum and sisters every other weekend and has been for a few weeks now. I'm currently 24w and have another son at home. My daughter is 14 and is old enough to keep to the rules at her Dad's and is also able to tell him if she isn't happy with something. To be fair he has been very sensible whilst having her and we've had some open conversations about it all. If your ex is unable to keep to the guide lines then I don't blame you for not wanting them there at the moment. However I've nearly got to the point that I feel I have to accept that covid is here and if I wasn't pregnant I would be at work in a school every day. Do what you think is right, stopping your ex from seeing your children if he is being sensible is unfair but if he is blatantly not keeping to the guidlines then I think you are in your rights to make that decision.

My ex has had his girlfriend staying over, she is still going to work and doesn't live with them. My children are 10 and 7. I was so angry when I found out, I confronted him and he asked what the problem was?! I've told him they are to stay 2 metres away from her and they know not to hug her etc. I just don't know whats wrong with him!
