I have 2 step-daughters, we see them every other weekend. Dh's ex is a very controlling woman and IMO selfish. She switches weekends with us when it suits her best, this past one she decided to take because she had something "special" for them to do and gave them to us last weekend. Well my dh had drill this past weekend and was gone from 6am until 10pm, the point of them coming is to spend time with him. That is my first point.
My second is she sent them over with terrible coughs, low grade fevers, sore throats and runny noses. That would normally me pretty unhappy, what made me livid is the fact that we have a 4 week old baby. I was so mad, they kept touching her, coughing on her, kissing her, messing with her blankets...They were never taught to wash their hands or cover their mouths either, I enforce that. Ugh. Dh didn't see it as a big deal, he does now that he's in bed with the chills, sore throat, and a cough. Lovely.
