"The Happy life of H and ow" have asked for the following....
To be able to have the kids Christmas day and the day after that (26th...it's also a Christmas day here !) and he wanted them for New Year's, but I don't want to have to miss my kids that day...and night.
OUCH! That is a lot to ask for!!! It must be that time of year…my H is also asking about our son on Christmas day. He wants our son in the morning .. After careful consideration I have decided like you, the afternoon is better.
Last year we did the same. It was nice for our son to go off for a few hours in the afternoon. I tidied up, washed up and then went for a massive long walk. I really enjoyed the day. When son came back at 8pm I was refreshed the house was all tidy.
Christmas can be difficult though.
I count my blessings that OW is not involved in my sons life as yet.
Cinders, my advice to you would be decide what would make Christmas best for you and your children. What is left offer to him. It is vitally important to ensure that your children’s mother has a good Christmas. She is the main carer. She is the one that carries the often heavy burden of parenthood. It is she that needs taking care of this Christmas. Don’t feel guilty that he doesn’t have it all his own way. Remember this is a choice he made not you.
