hi,
if your relationship with your partner means alot to you, then i think you should look at all possible means. i don't have a new partner but lately i been spending whole saturday with my kids, places like chessington, paultons etc. you could do the same. i really enjoyed it. kids wanted to stay out late as possible, and that was possible as there was no mother around to cry and complain 🙂 you can try that out with just you and your kids. see how your partner finds it.
hi thanks for your reply. I think she wants it all sepeate she said she doesnt need to see my child she comes to see me so why cant I see her with just me on weekends take her out then just drop her to moms ect instead of staying at ours because of all the stuff that's happend between my ex and child she just cant deal with it anymore this is why I find it so hard what to do. I've been with my partner 1 year less tjen my 8 year old. I just dont no what to decide could I parent better being just me and my daughter or do I keep having her here for my partner to be awkward and uncomfortable. shes already said she wont tell.me to do anything as I'll be sad but shes dreading her being around the baby and thinks it wont get any easier. if you dont no I have the x from [censored] who contributed to us losing our daughter them we got her back so my partner hates it all
also she doesnt like them all knowing our business that adds to it and my daughter goes back and tells everyone including all my family who I havnt spoke to in 6 years there all friendly with the ex so it's a massive not simple tricky pile of [censored] lol
also I get extra days thro holidays like 6 weeks holiday I get 5 days in a row evry 2 weeks and my partner says we cant afford it ect and we both work so basically she cares for my daughter so we spoke and she said can I just do every other weekend then when she comes I can plan a solid day of me and her trips ect and we can afford it and it's always weekend. she said by time my daughter goes on extra days everyone's under escjoyhers feet and even my daughters bored as she misses her friend ect I agreed solely because I want something rather tjen nothing am I right mojo
sorry to go on I know it's not a major matter just got noone else to talk to. I reduced all my extra days on holidays to just my normal every other weekend which hopefully will make it easier my partner has admitted at the moment everything about her is annoying her and said its because pregnant ect and shes majorly.stressed ect and she just snaps at everything to do with my ex or daughter. so I reduced holidays ect to keep it easier just every other weekend tbh the extra days by the end 3veryones just ratty as my childs mates are all at hers and we run out of things to do and money so she gets pretty bored so I'm hoping less is more so the days I get her I can do more with her. do you think I've made the wrong choice
