It has been me and my kids, since my stbx decided he does not want visits with the kids. He's seen them only 2 hours in over a month. He told me a few days ago he wanted to come talk about us, which he never showed up for that talk, and thank god cause I didn't want to talk about us anyways. I wanted instead to set some visitations up for him and the kids.
Well he calls tonight and asked if he could come by tomorrow and see the kids at 7 pm, i said that's a bit late to have a few hour visit. So we agreed on 6pm. Then he throws in that his mother is coming. I haven't seen this woman in over a year!!! She lives far away, but even over the phone was not supportive of me taken care of my kids by myself cause the dumb ass does not come see his kids. I said no, I don't want my space invaded. The last time she was down, my stbx and I were still together but she criticized everything I did. I told him not to bring her to my house and told him to forget about the visit.
Well my house is not picture perfect I have 4 young kids to take care of by myself and I don't need anyone's shit!! Although my house donst look bad either, it's just me stressing.
So I've decided that if they show up, I'll be waiting outside and just say lets go to the park for our visit.
I just cant get over he doesnt even ask!!!! He says my mom is coming to. WTF!!! I was having a good day and let him make me upset. By the way this woman lost custody of 2 of her children and I think she's a dead beat for not seeing her kids.
Thanks for letting me rant.
you need to be strong for your kids and your self but dont worry you doing what is best for your kid and dont let any ony make you think otherwise hears a bui hug

Hope everything went okay with the visit! and if there wasnt one, then it was probably bad timing... separation n divorce are so difficult, but when u add young kids... sometimes it almost seems impossible!!
i know what you're goin' thru, but i have different circumstances... their dad wants to see them more, but the thing is, most the time, my mother in law feeds them, and they're always at their neighbors playing... he just does the 'disneyland dad' stuff.. like buyin' em drum sets n crap!!!!
good luck tweetie pie!
