Hi, I wasn't sure where to post this so please forgive me if its in the wrong place!?
I've remarried (almost five years) and my DH is a wonderful SD to my two DC's (DS aged 13 and DD1 aged 8). I'm pg with our first together and we're all very excited. DC's are really looking forward to the arrival of their new sister and I can tell already they're going to be great with her.
They see their dad either every weekend or every other weekend and its very flexible depending on what we're doing and when he's working etc. - no complaints in this area and its all very friendly. In fact, I'm still very close with his sister and mum and family etc. He's taking them on holiday for a week in August which will give me a nice rest as I'll be even fatter by then!
However, today when he called to speak with them and arrange this weekend, he offered that he has some holiday left over that he could take when this LO arrives to 'give us some space'. I was a bit taken aback and thanked him but said that I don't want to shove them out of the way! He said no probs but the offer is there.
This isn't a big issue and having been through much much worse in previous years, I appreciate that it isn't the be all and end all. I'm just interested to know what other people's experiences have been in this area and if you've got any advice? My gut feeling is to stick to the usual routine...
Thanks in advance,
PLP xxx
