I guess I am not particularly kind. My response was to look at him wide-eyed in authentic shock and say ‘I think that would be a bit awkward, don’t you?’
I appreciate your expanded kinder response, Wayfarer. H and I come from different countries and there will be times in the future where travel will need to include both parents for logistical reasons. So I can’t dismiss this as a ‘never, ever shall we share the same extended family space ever in the future.’
Thanks guys for the support. Now please grant me the patience to navigate split time with grace... I am already furious about having to negotiate with him about doing something fun and worthwhile with my kids this week.
