AIBU not wanting to watch his kids?

OH and i have been together for 3 years and have 1 child together. He has 2 children from previous relationship aged 7 and 10. OH recently picked up a job where he is asked to work a few hours sometimes (2-3 hours). Since his kids are on summer vacation, he wants to have them over for almost a week and is asking me to watch them while he goes to work. My answer was absolutely not. I don't want any drama with BM if anything happens to the kids if he is not here. She is an unreasonable human being that has made our life hell and i purposely do not try to parent or say anything to her kids so that they do not have anything negative to say about me and take back to her. For the record, OH only sees them once a month if that, she allows him to see the kids only when she feels like it.
AIBU for not wanting to watch his kids? He seems a little hurt but I am just doing it to protect myself from drama.

Hi all,
We've had some reports about this thread and have cast our eye over it and we can see that the term BM has caused some consternation.

We don't believe the OP meant to cause any offence - if we did we would have removed the post - but just for future reference if you know a term causes widespread offence it might be better not to use it as it clearly gets in the way of receiving support.

Anyway, thanks for listening, sorry for getting in the way with our tuppence-worth, we hope that this summer turns out well for the whole family.
