Need help saving my family - part 8

[melissag]

Your W does not get to tell you where or how to parent your kids. If you want to take them back to your province, that's your call.

As far as missing school - are you supposed to have them on Monday or are you wanting to add on another day? If you are supposed to have them on Monday anyway, then I think it's your call whether your oldest D misses school. Would your W care if she missed school?

I think that would be nice of you to help your kids pick out a bday gift for Mom, and for you to wish her a happy birthday. I think the photos and videos of your time together is a bad idea - not only because it will seem to her like pursuing, but because I think you are attaching some expectations to that and you will be disappointed.
