This has to be quick as my OH is on his way home, but I think Julie has it in a nutshell. I know that he hates the weekends away just by how stressed he gets a few days before he goes. I know a lot of the things his kids do annoy him and I also know that he hates having to see his ex. Also his parents live near and he stays with them while he's visiting and they also make his life very difficult, they have never accepted me or any other of their daughter in laws for instance. I get very annoyed when his kids don't remember his birthday or barely acknowledge it and when Christmas etc. pass with just a token box of chocolates which his ex has obviously bought for them to give him. My own kids despite not being over fond of him always put thought and time into his presents and I know how it hurts him when his don't bother. I love spending time with my children when he's away but he's jealous of this and I think that's why he finds it hard if they and I do things together when he's not here. And yes, they do live with us and it's ok but they have had a far stricter upbringing than his and therefore are better behaved. Must dash now but your comments have helped enormously, thank you.
