Good morning broke- That is a good idea on what to say when people talk about it. I guess I have been breaking my own boundaries this week and didn't realize it. I have not forwarded or missed any calls this week. With my son sick I guess I just talked to him more then I realized. Today will be his first day having the kids since Sunday. He has a list at home, and I am just dropping them and then waiting at my inlaws until it is time to leave for the shower. I guess I need to be LESS avaliable again since the baby is not sick anymore.

Like last night our call was:

H- hey whats up?
Me- Hi, want to talk to the kids?
H- Yes
He talks to both kids, s3 hangs up and I go back to my stuff.

H calls back

H- what are you guys doing today?
I told s3 i wanted to talk to you and he hung up.
Me- oh nothing, just stuff. Im alittle busy so ill see you tomorrow with the kids.
H- are you still bringing them to my parents for me?
Me- yes at 11:30 I'll be there.
H- will you wake me up whn you get here?
Me- sure I'll see you tomorrow
H- did you know x is on vacation this week?(his partner)
Me- mhmm(kids start screaming.) kids need me, so I gotta go.
H- oh well okay bye.

MOST DAYS it is just hey let me talk to the kids and that is all he says. Or a text saying how are the kids? I'll say they are good..he might ask what we did today and I'll ignore that one.

I struggle with how much is too much talking and how little is keeping the kids away.
