Emsman Jnr has got chicken pox.

So his mother thinks it may not be a good idea for him to come to mine for christmas day.

I dont think so. I really dont think so. He has been ill for a week, so i guess another week should see him recovered?

Poor little bugger, was running a 40 degree temperature last night by all accounts and spent the night in a&e.

It never rains and all that

Never understand why parents use children as pawns to hurt each other, am not saying she is but from your comment... "it's the same every xmas"

Well i had chicken pox as a teen, only lasted a week or so. Bloody brother caught it in the school, then passed it on to me aswell.

Surely will fully recover well before Xmas.

Third christmas since she fukced off with a married man.

I see him every other weekend, from friday to sunday.
We alternate christmas, but since she moved away, its always an issue with travel, money, and how little she will see of him.
No mention of the 3 days a month i see him.
Her husband is back from afgan on tuesday-unexpectedly- for christmas, so now the arguement is that he hasnt seen him for 3 months, so would be better staying down there for christmas.

erm, no.

The chickenpox will be long gone by then. (My nieces and nephew had it when I was 20, they were over it in 3 days, I was off work for 3 weeks, and had crusty spots EVERYWHERE!.)

He's your kid too, little st trying to use him as a pawn.

You are well shot of her, do you get to speak to him on the phone?

Maybe turn up on Christmas Morning with Rags round your head and a copy of the Koran, that should scare the st out of her new man!

Well done for fighting after the year you have had!

Respect!

Tell her to fk off. Then reconsider and say let Jr decide where he wants to be. With you and his shiny new Landrover or with his mum and some educational toys. Job's a carrot!

My wee one had chicken pox at Christmas time too. He was 3 at the time and it really didn't seem to bother him.

Jnr left on sunday, and said to his mum that he didnt want to go, he wanted to stay with his dad.

As opposed to living on her own with him and a 20 week old son, so he plays second fiddle to the newborn.
Christ, we dont have any cash to lavish, but he gets to spend all the time he is with us doing quality things- be it the park, playing in the house or whatever else.

It distresses me no end when he leaves.

And now, the christmas issue. Im not allowed to drive far, so my mum normally goes with me, and all i get then is that im a mummys boy. Er, no, its called ensuring our son is safe whilst travelling.

Honestly, its ste

The thing is, he'll sleep in the car if he's poorly and there'll be no difference with him being ill with his mum or with you. In fact, if she's got a newborn, then he'll be better of with you with regards to attention and cuddles.

Stick to your guns mate, and when I say guns, I mean that metaphorically as you're not to be trusted around something is actually designed to kill things. Good luck, and I hope it works out!

Have just seen this thread, I feel for you, I have a similar issue every Xmas as well, had a massive row on the phone with my ex last night as the arrangement was to pick my daughter up on boxing day but she has now tried to change that!

I went to court last year for parental responsibility but to be honest I should have gone the whole hog.

I got my solicitor through Pistonheads as placed a thread up for advice and she PM'd me, would have no issues with doing it again if things don't change.

Stick to your guns mate, take your Mum with you in the car its because she is at stretch with your mother there, she'd have no problems having a go at you if you turn't up on your own but with your Mum there its a different matter.

I also used to drive from Plymouth to Manchester (Where my daughter is at school) without telling her so she knew I would go out of the way for my daughter, she used to tell me not to come up and that my little girl was not wanting to see me.

Stick with it mate be awkward and consider it a challenge of which you will get your way, do things legally and never rise to her temper, it makes no difference shouting on the phone, save every single awful text message on your phone and show your solictor, I used to record my ex on my phone.

Your relationship with your son will continue and your time together will be more special each time.

Don't stress your son will never ever forget you.

PM me if you want solicitors details or anything else.
