| Broken families...where do the kids go for Christmas?
My ex husband, who does not communicate with me, moved interstate with his new girlfriend 5 years ago. He keeps in regular phone contact with our children (now 12 & 14) and once a year for approx 1 week he flies them up to see him. My new husband and I deal with the everyday responsibilities of raising teenagers, school, sport, dentist, taxi driving, cooking, cleaning, breaking up fights etc etc etc.
I know it's a long way off, but I'm told my ex is coming down for Xmas and he wants the kids. Last time (2 yrs ago) I agreed to this and he took them to his girlfriends family. The kids prefer spending Xmas with me and my big family, but don't want to upset their father.I'm happy for them to go with their Dad on Xmas Eve or Boxing day.
I hate not having my kids on that one special "family day" of the year. Do I have the 'right' to tell me ex husband he hasn't "earnt" the privilege?? |
