Did MIL ever come to stay with you? (I remember that being a plan at one point)? As for telling D4, I’d keep it simple and unemotional. Mommy and Daddy aren’t going to be married anymore but Daddy will always be her daddy.
What’s your response going to be if your ex wants to come and stay like he did last time when he was done with his gig?
Hi kml. MIL did not return. She wanted to come in June. Covid had hit her state bad. The job I almost started was apprehensive about her staying with me. I struggled to find other last minute, full-time help quick enough, locally. They hired someone else. All good. She had appointments she could break anyway.
I like what you've suggested I could say to D4. Simple.
I doubt my x will return. It'd be too uncomfortable for me to have him here.
