Jo I am happy for you. Many atachment words from your H in your post.
Do you feel betrayed that H is going to thak the kids to see your mother?
Maybe he is doing it so the kids think they have a GM. Maybe he is doing it so your mum will see that you are a good mother or that you have more worth than she previously thought you had. Maybe your H wantas to show off his and your kids and prove to your mum that you and he are capable of raising strong, happy children. Maybe he is doing it so your Mum will eventually apologise to you or show her how proud he is of you, dispite her feelings.

Honorable Guys tend to carry out their bold statements like ILU just so they will not be called "two timers".
