In the UK - pt23 - bugger me pink, I'm still here

[Huddy]

Hope everyone had a good Christmas, and are looking forward to a Happy New Year.

Busy time here at Huddy central as I have the kids with me! We've been having a great time since Christmas Eve. I invited W over on Christmas Day, but she declined. No worries, thought it would be nice for the kids. She has called three times whilst they have been with me......and that leads in to the question!

Since September, W has been asking me to have at least one of the kids every weekend. Excuses have ranged from tiredness to wanting a job, but she asked again today. I'm in a quandary about this. On one hand, yes I'd love to see my kids every weekend (W seems to be struggling with my S who is Autistic), but I'm worried this is another MLC trick so she can spend time doing 'other' things. Then, I think to myself, is this some kind of reconnection motive. I'm confused. I did say to her that having the kids with her is what she wanted, and she replied that me having my S every weekend is what she now wanted, because he loved spending time with me. Any thoughts, people?
