Oh man please help me here contact with my kids Is going really well but as time is going on my ex is inviting me in at drop off time and I can't get away till night playing with the kids while she's making dinner or put a film on for us all to watch etc I wish for things to be more formal as I'm not with her anymore but she will Say right in from of them "do you want daddy to take us out for McDonalds" so we "all" jump in the car and go
Also she recently asked me to buy her a pram but surley it's for her house and we're not together so I can't imagine forming out 300 for a pram for her to use
The problem is if If i bring up all these issues I know the fireworks will start again and I see them nearlly everyday as it stands
It's a bit between a rock and a hard place isn't it?
Are you in mediation or court proceedings at present?
Perhaps you need to speak to her without the kids around or be firm before you drop them off?
It is a difficult situation but it's very easy to make a rod for your own back. I think to keep things more separate, you might have some upset at first, but it's probably not good for the children to carry on as you are. They need stability and routine and this could be a way of approaching it with the mother?
