My partner has two children ( boys) to a previous relationship. 1 child with me (18 months) and another one on the way (Jan). We have SS every other weekend, a week during the school holidays (May half term or July-August half term) and a week at Christmas. Partner didn’t discuss having SS during the Halloween half term, however he has told kids and ex partner that he will have the kids for a few days during this holiday… he shouldn’t have done considering he has just started a new job and he didn’t know what shifts he would be working, we are also staying at MY mums as we live out of town and are currently house hunting in the area my family and partner now works in. He’s got a text of kids mam asking when he was collecting the kids and only sprung it on me after receiving that text that he had told them and her that he would have them…. I have told him to text her being honest and apologising that he can’t have them due to working. He is expecting me to travel to pick the kids up and look after them aswell as my own little one at 30 weeks pregnant on my own with no help from anyone because family don’t live where we do, they can’t stay at my mums house and I have an consultant appointment on Friday which I can’t take my own daughter too let alone his kids. He’s has told me I’m selfish, I don’t care etc which I have replied “I did not carry them children for 9 months, I did not birth them children, it wasn’t discussed with me we never ever have them during the October half term, and you should have kept your mouth shut considering you’ve started a new job and didn’t know what shifts you were working, it is not my fault, I am not going to be looking after children who aren’t mine” especially after a lot of stuff going down at the moment with SS and their mother. Now I’m the arsehole and the world’s worst person. 😏

It’s on him to make plans not you, he’s asked you and you’ve said no. This is still his problem, not yours. I hate it when men treat us like their free childcare!

Not the arsehole He didn’t talk to you, you have plans and that’s that If he did discuss this with you and you had nothing on I’d say meh do it but otherwise nah! It’s not your responsibility to look after kids that aren’t yours with no communication regarding it He can text his ex and say sorry due to my new job and shifts I won’t be able to get the boys sorry for the misunderstanding I can take them out on X day!

No he is the arsehole. He’s been inconsiderate and careless and he can’t expect that to be ok. Put your foot down and stick to your guns otherwise you could run the risk of him taking the mick in the future x

Nope this is on him. Don’t open your mouth and commit to things you have no intention upholding. It’s not your responsibility to clear up after him.

You've absolutely done nothing wrong. Theres no point in having his kids, if he's hardly gonna see them, due to working. He's in the wrong for saying he'll have them and not discussing it with you first. That is absolutely wrong. You should be the first one he discusses it with
