Husbands Ex making him look bad to the kids

Glad it got sorted out in the end. Maybe their Xmas present to their mum could be a nice personalised calendar - every mum would love one of those wouldn't they? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I'm glad you've got it sorted but really why it needed all this drama is beyond me. You said right back at the beginning of the thread that your ex's Mum could have them ........so why involve the kids in it all when your OH could have simply rung his ex-MIL and said-"We have a date clash -Can you have the kids that week ?" Of course I suppose you'd have missed out on involving the kids and bad mouthing the ex though which might have made it less fun for you-but would be the way grown-ups do it !

Sorry, not sure why my OH should have to sort out the childcare due to his ex's inability to do so!! Why would he ring his ex's mother to sort out the childcare!? It wasnt a date clash, it was her disorganisation!
We never ever bad mouth her to the kids so not sure where you got that from!
The reason for this 'drama' was because the ex told my OH kids that theye wre coming to ours when she knew we couldnt possibly facilitate it!

What a bizarre notion, it's his ex's mother, not his, he has no business requesting childcare from her.

This was a mess of the mother's making and she could have rung her mum herself - the fact that she didn't suggests that maybe she's messed her around a few too many times as well.
