Yesterday I made the trip half way to pick up my girls after a night with daddy at his new house.
The girls were upset because 'daddy was very stressed' not too sure whether at 3 and 6 you can understand stress. But I guess there must have been some vibes.
Earlier in the day I'd sorted out yet another pile of paperwork and found the MOT certificate for his car. So I'd taken it along and reminded him that the car insurance was still in my name and he needed to sort it out....oh and by the way, had he added his girlfriend. No...so she's driving with no insurance...I guess so, was the answer.
Later as I was putting my eldest to bed she just hapened to mention that the girlfriend had taken them out for a drive as daddy was a bit grumpy.
Bearing in mind I am not exactly happy that a 19 yr old is driving my girls around in any case. A 19yr old driving them around witout insurance was just a little too much to bear.
So I get's to work this morning to find an email asking if the girls are OK ....... clearly the weekend had been a bit odd.
No I said, they were up most of the night....they tell me you were grumpy and stressed.....and Why was your girlfriend driving them anywhere? And tell me about the insurance.
Oh, says he. I'm finding it tough having them to stay. Maybe they should just come for the day.....here we go I think. As for driving the girls, it wasn't very far. Like tell that to PC Plod when he stops her.
Sort it out! And quick. And do not let her drive them around again. And if it is so difficult having your children for one night every two weeks, ask yourself why?
There are times when I wonder who is more grown up, the girls or their daddy.
