MWG - thanks so much....I think of you and your stich so often; thanks for your kindness !
Thanks MMF...you are the sweetest !
Nutty...although I am flattered by what you seem to think of me..there is really nothing special about what I do. I don't think I've ever seen or thought of it as 'giving'...it's just who I am and I don't think I could be different. H actually called this morning about a 'child' issue..we spoke nicely on the phone...he then referred to my invitation and TM and said he may like to join us, and how we would arrange things with the kids as it is the evening he usually takes them...I told him I was sure we could find a solution that would suit us both and that there would be no problem for me to find a babysit if the kids stayed home whilst we went out. He told me he'd think about it, and I said that would be fine.
I do understand that the ow may not like it, and may even feel that I am crossing 'their' boundaries by doing this, and I sometimes feel that I find myself trying to respect those boundaries. After all, THEY are now in a relationship, not H and I. However, in this case, I was going to go out with my inlaws without H, as it turns out, his father may be ill and I can imagine he would like to see/speak to them, so I thought it would be nice to invite him along. Nothing more, just trying to think how I would treat a friend....
D9 has a friend staying over, and D7 is sleeping in my bed tonight ! S5 was beat and I took him to bed at 7.30pm; hopefully they will all sleep a bit tomorrow !
Take care xxx
