i find this one so hard and now decided to give up on it, he lives alone and is set in his ways.
some days u visit and its a ll fine and dandy
other days at his invite, you'd swear you had comminted a sin against him
plus i cant stand how he talks to my 4 and 2 year old. we all know you cant tell them NOOO or they'll burst out crying and then thats a whole other scenario; you have to distract or woo away from the glass vase being rocked on the table or whatever. but god if i do that procedure he thinks i am too soft on them and a good no will stop all that.
they only go to montesorri 3 mornings a week and he says oh sure you'd just them there every day wouldnt you , eh no they'll be at school in no time and wont want to come home to me their mum who loves having them around the house.
you get credit for nothing you do. they are well behaved in his house and others.
i have given huge amounts of advice on doing up his house and you could put it in homes and gardens now, did i get a thank you??
and to top it off looks like christmas might be in his house.
jesus it drives me mad.
