So, my partner was feeling a bit down and wanting to see his kids a bit more, We have them 40% of the time and agreed we should start up a weekly family dinner sort of thing to have a tradition in our house. We agreed as it is winter in Australia that a Sunday night roast would be a really lovely idea. The kids just live up the road so every second weekend we don’t have them BM agreed they could come over for dinner on Sunday nights.

Wow!!!! What a meeting... First of all she refused to even act like I was there in my house! Then we were driving ss11 and his friends to there game and bowling party... BM just showed up to our house!! She yelled at me in the drive way saying I wasn't apart of the family and how dare I attend!!

I stood my ground n was sooo mature and just was mature! So we got to the place.. She then abused me again saying I was a total bitch that I came and was wrecking the party! Haha this was after both skids and all the party kids fighting over coming with me to the party!!

i was just reading a post talking about pregnancy and saying they want there DH to act like he hasnt been through it before so it is exciting for both of them.. i always get really upset thinking that no matter what FDH and i do it wont be as fun or exciting because its the second time round for him. Nothing we do will be for the first time and seriously i cry about it alot.

i dont feel our wedding will be as special or if we had a baby it will just be something normal for him. i know this is very childish and i shouldnt think this way.

OK - FDH and BM are trying to work out the yearly planner/calander for next year.. so this will include which week the kids stay during the holidays and which holidays they are going to plan for etc.

so of course BM gots all the good weeks last year and we get all the left over ones. But this year FDH has finally put his foot down and said NO we should actually we should take turns each year as it is only fair.
