DSC Mum is has a cycle of volatile behaviour. Sickly friendly for a month, hates the kids for a couple of months, then hates their Dad for a few months and the cycle continues. It’s been the same for years.
Having had them for 3 months over lockdown after it being with her every other weekend before that, it’s now back on 50/50 and she hates Dad again. She’s telling the kids he’s nothing but a wanker and how much she hates him and they’ve become pretty shitty whilst they’ve been here. This always happens after they’re here extra time, either guilt or the ear bashing they give her for ditching them. She text DH tonight to ask him to have them on her due date until she has her baby and perhaps beyond.
It’s got to be a no because of the inevitable backlash, it’s happened too many times but how to say it without getting into a slanging match is going to be a real issue!
