Having a lovely break away just me and dd5, realised I haven't missed home at all. Did the dutiful video calls home, forgot ss would be there twice, and as soon as hubby put ss on to speak to her I felt sick and left them to their conversation. Going home today and the sense of dread has woken me at 5am.

Just saw red today and haven't for a long time. 

Back story is- my dd 4 and I bumped into her classmate in a store recently, and the girl reluctantly said hello like dd was crap.  Then this little specimen and her mother bumped into my dd with our childminder in a park this week and neave, yea I'll call her by her real name, was so horrible too dd and Co, that my childminder called her mother out to get off her bench stop sucking on her vape and sort her clan.

Ss parents broke up when ss was a year younger than (our) daughter 4.

  Wow my lil critter  tries to give us the run around. She's been pushing boundaries all day to me, and sulked as I won't let her crack on. Now daddy is trying to put her to bed she wants to say mummy I love u, cuddles x5. Nope, get to bed bye. Do as daddy says or else.

I guess as a kindly rounded view there is nobody to blame, and people, particularly long suffering grandparents are entitled to live their life.. But, it always ends up affecting us!!

Back story, dh walked away from family home he'd worked his backside on, with just his clothes leaving her everything and taking a rubbish settlement. Because he didn't want his 3 Yr old son to suffer, eye roll, bm did that by asking him to leave as she thought she cld do better.
