My post above was from a few hours ago.

Since then we've had an update. W called earlier under the guise of saying goodnight to the kids. After doing so she tells me she has fallen out with her mum.

She was the nicest she's been in weeks if not since BD. We talked a bit and it turns out her mum isn't happy (understatement alert!!!) I'm minding the kids. Her mum, controlling schemer she is, would rather I didn't exist. So W going against her wishes and her not having control has meant she has spat out her dummy and won't mind the kids for W as planned on Friday. Of course W being nice to me now as she wants me to mind them instead. I said I'd have to consult my calander and let her know if I'm free. I said if I'm not it's not done out of spite. We discussed this and W seemed to understand that to be true.

I think I will take them Friday. I don't want to be a doormat but feel I should make the most of W/MIL rift. By myself having the kids it will only fuel that for MIL smile

I feel without MIL poking her nose in (understatement alert!!!) I'd be a lot further along in this whole thing. What kind of evil person demands her D keep children away from their F ?

I have to take into account before I get carried away that W is still actively in contact with her 'friend', the OM.

Oh, as I'm slowly grinding this out on mobile W has texted 'Hope kids been okay... Hope we can work something out help each other out .'

Any thoughts/advice on what to do?
