Thanks for the advice. I always make sure I am there for the children if I do not have work commitments.
I’m lucky that my work are very accommodating and allow me to work from home.
Re: not reacting I have made sure that is best policy as replying just escalates the situation with more verbal attacks rather than the situation being resolved.
I called the children on my way home from work the other day via my in car speaker phone. The after the call was told “to never call the children again on speaker phone as they are entitled to their privacy” hahaha you couldn’t make it up.
No you couldn’t! I think you need a sense of humour, don’t let it get to you and don’t stop calling your kids on speaker phone either!
It seems to me that if she’s prepared to lie to have more time with her new bloke, her needs take priority over the kids... she’s likely to want you to have them more not less!
All the best
