Trying flirting on for size!

[kat727]

Have you ever found that when you hold on too tight, the thing you are wanted to hold on to wants away even more? Relax with your kids. You seem to be projecting your greatest fears on to them.

They know the rules and let them know if they are broken this is what will happen. Then follow through. Kids need guidance and at these ages rebellion starts. If she will be so happy with dad, pack her a bag for a week and let her know that she can call you. Don't ask her back, don't beg her back. Your H is playing the game with you and they are in the middle. If he really is making it sooo appealing, I doubt that it will be since they will be a tad crowded.

Take the time to do things you want to do. It is a mini-break not the end of the world. When your kids do come back and talk just listen, only add your advice if they ask for it.

You are going to be fine. Your kids will see who the stable parent is and gravitate toward you but only if you can be brave, put on a happy face and let go a bit.

Hugs, kat
