W emailed... asked if she could have kids a couple hours longer on a day she has them for a family picnic. I responded with a simple yes, but it's irritating a bit because I feel like she will take them when others are around, so they get the impression she's a mother, when in reality she barely does anything and has refused to take them any other time I've offered. Even when my D6 was having a hard time in school not seeing W, she refused to see her more and only called twice a while ago.
I said yes, because regardless of her reasons, the kids can benefit from the outing and play with their family. It concerns me a bit too, because she was horrible at watching them and has previously been confronted about that by her family when I wasn't there. I usually watched them while she just prances around mingling like a single woman without kids. I won't be there to watch over them like usual, bothers me a bit.
