Hi

Yes it's trivial just books.

You're right though I don't think he's given it a thought. He's certainly not considered the implications of using the kids in this way. He seems to have stopped thinking about anyone apart from himself. He knows that the kids disapprove of OW yet he continues to see her even though he says it's not important. If it's not important and you're kids don't approve you don't do it right?

Anyway back to the original question. I think you're right I will just thank him for returning the books and leave it there. Of course if he continues to do this particularly over more important issues I will then remind him of our agreement.

I could put something like:

"Thanks for returning the stuff. It's appreciated. BTW I thought we'd agreed to do that sort of thing directly rather than through the kids?"

Which shouldn't upset him but will remind him of what we agreed.

Thanks Sanderika. Any more thoughts. Anyone else got an opinion?
