Please bear in mind I am not rational at the moment so I am asking for advice on that basis.

Ex OH apparently (ie he hasn't spoken to me at all) intends to take the kids to Skegness on Saturday. He will collect them at 8 o'clock. So in order for them to be ready I will be up at around 7 to chivvy them...
I think they should stay at his the night beofre to let me off the hook. He usually picks them up from me in town at 11:30 on a sat after DDs dancing class )no sat dancing classes over the summer)
These are teenagers- 13 and a half (DD) and 16 in Sept (DS) I spend an hour or more (esp with DS) 'encouraging' them to go to bed - then if we have an early start about the same time 'get up your dad is coming...' on saturday mornings. I really do NOT feel like I should get up early and nag them to get up so they can go out for the day. I could lie in bed and totally ignore this apparent arrangement of which I am not officially aware (and get THAT thrown at me - you knew we were going...blah blah yada yada) or I could have the flipping stress of getting ME up then getting them up - but I'm not going..
shall I suggest he asks them to stop at his and if they say they won't tell him I will NOT be responsible for them not being ready because they won't go to bed and won't get up when asked...
remeber I am accomodaing AF and feel liek a witch

I dont think its unreasonable to ask - if you position it in a way which is as un-witchlike as possible, then I dont see why he should have a problem with it! Its his idea to take them, so.........

Just ring him and say that youve heard thats what he plans to do, and you have no problem with it, but it would be easier all round ESPECIALLY FOR THE KIDS if they were with him the night before.....

If he doesnt agree, give the kids lots of red bull first thing in the morning.....not only will they be high as kites in the car all the way, they will need to stop every two minutes for a pee, so will serve him right for not having them in the first place.

Or staple his eyelids to his groin, which ever you prefer.

Valli

last option tbh

and one of the bl**dy kids WON'T go the night before

BRAT!

if I gave 'em Red Bull they'd grass me up! I shall *erm* drink wine, not set alarm and ignore it all

(and since he's paranoid...I saw someone I vaguely knew by sight in Eurodisney (when we were still together -but JUST)..apparently it was an engineered meeting and we were having an affair! I didn''t even know his name, just knew him by sight - oh -and he was pushing an occupied buggy at the time! This is him that's had 3 GFs since we split and lived with two:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:)
