PositivelyMommy, Puppy and SP, I can understand totally as you are all in agreement, that I should draw a boundary in regards to doing things for my W and/or house that are nothing to do with the children.

As she seems to do on a regular basis, I was sent me a text by my W this morning apologising for her manner in regard to me turning up yesterday to say hello to the children. She went on to say I really need to let her know if I am going to come around to the house. I validated this without apologising and told her I would have rung if I had had my mobile with me. She then went on to give me a list of times/dates when it would be convenient to clear a carpet from the house for her. I did say I would help her with the carpet but I would let her know when it was convenient for ME.

In light of the posts above, should I know tell her I have no intention of clearing this carpet as it does not affect the children, and if so how would I tell her this without it causing an issue. Do I tell her straight that I will not help her or anything to do with the house?
