about 4:00 today my husbands step-dad and brother stopped byu and picked up my oldest kid for a few hours. i had to leave and come to my grandmas which i have to do EVERY sunday and his mom knows this. well we had a long weekend and i was asleep since i got here and they keot calling my cell phone and i couldnt get a hold of my husband but i couldnt hold my eyes open so i went back to sleep. all in all and a long story made short his step-dad and brother said they stopped by to bring her home and my husband must not have heard the door. then our house phone was dead so he couldnt answer it when they called. so they send his brother to the house again with an attitude which upsets my husband. he no longer wants ne thing to do with them and he doesnt want them to get the kids again. (i think more went on then he told me but he is very upset) his family has always been like this towards him by treating him like they do not care and just starting stuff whenever they can. him and his step-dad have almost fought before it had gotten so bad. what do you guys think?? i dont think it is right to keep the babies from her but at the same time they dont need to be around the drama that his brother always brings and he is the 1 who brought her back that last time with an attitude and talking crap. any ideas on how to make a situation better? or how to make them see what they are doing to my husband??

He just told me about that. I under stand why he is so mad. I also under stand where you are coming for and under stand than you dont think it is fair to keep the kids for his mom. When ever she wants to see the kids have her meet you guys at the park or something. Then she can see the kids and then when she is ready to go home then you guys can go home. That way it does not cause a fight between brothers anymore. I now it will be really hard and if you do not have the time or the money to go to the park then just tell her no not today. That is the least you could do you now.

yea i do not blame him for being upset this has been an on going thing his whole life. i can understand him not wanting her to see them because it seems almost every time she does there is always something. but it is not fair/right to keep them from their grandma. i want to respect his wishes because if i were to ever say that i would want him to respect it also. may be when he calms down it will b diffrent...i sure hope so... i am sure she will not go for that. i agree with it and think it would work that way very well but i think she will take it in to offence and not want to meet us at a park. those 2 brothers are always having problems lol you know that haha i rarely have the time or the gas but i could make time for that if i absolutely have to...yes it is the least i can do that way she is not completely left out. i guess ill have to see how this plans out...

Yeah it doesnt hurt to try anyway. And if she gets mad about that just let her now that you do not like the way the brother is, and that every time he comes around it starts something that the kids do not need to be in the middle of. And let her now that it has nothing to do with her even if it does.
