I'm looking after DPs children tonight as he's out. Not a problem I do it from time to time when needs must.

They are usually great for me and we have a good relationship.

But tonight. My GOD. It's like they've been possessed. They aren't listening to me, they are directly doing what I've asked them not to do (can literally hear eldest telling youngest to 'just do it anyway' when they think I can't hear). They are banging around and shouting way past their bed time.

I got a bit cross and now one is crying under his duvet and not speaking to me... Great.

Can I tell my DP to get his arse back home? I feel guilty 'grassing' to him about this as they are usually well behaved and I really would hate for it to ruin the relationship I have with his DC but I'm pretty f*cking fed up tonight!

Do kids even hold grudges like that if I were to tell him?

I also don't want DP to feel like I can never be left alone with them again as I'm glad he feels comfortable leaving DC with me and I like spending time with them (USUALLY!).

If you exchange bodily fluids, you can tell him his kids have been a PITA. Sometimes kids play up and can be right PITA’s and if these kids aren’t usually like this, then don’t sweat it. The heat is probably getting to them.

Definitely tell him, I'd want to know if my kids were playing up.

I think I will when he gets home tonight. He usually asks if everything was okay anyway so I will just tell the truth haha.

They seem to have calmed down now and gone to bed (thank you God).
