Jess was due to go to her dads this weekend.she goes every 3-4 wks fri til sunday afternoon.

This week she refused to go saying his partner shouts at her and her son ges her in trouble. Now at home jess is told off by myself and rich and she has never once refused to come home or told anyone she is unhappy about rich telling her off, she just accepts things and deals with them.

Last time jess saw her dad she went away for a week and had a big run in with his partner and well things were blown out of porportion....basically they were at the park her step brother took a toy off her she screeched as 6 yr old girls can...step mum shouted ....jess screeched louder n this got to step mum so much she had to return jess to her dad and take her son off alone as she was so angry..........now i feel this was badly handled and felt step mum over reacted.

Jess did not become rude or anything but she is a pretty gd screecher.  But then so is every one of jess's friends lol

Her dad spoke to me today n said he will have jess in 3 week for the weekend as usual but his partner will go out for most of the time so he can spend time alone with jess. I do not like this idea as surly they should be willing to work though this and step mum will only end up resenting jess for pushing her out of her own home.....what do ppl think?

I think his partner needs a reality check!

Kids are kids...they are going to fight and squabble..and storming off in a tizzy fit is pathetic.  Your daughter is 6..and erm the partner is a grown up.

The partner either works with your ex when your daughter goes over there which is the way it should be.

My tasja at times doesnt want to go to her dads..his last gf, well didnt get on to well with tasja and got very jealous and it made all sorts of problems.  His new partner is lovely and has all the time in the world for tasja..more than her dad does anyway

my ex said  he was upset but then he could have made the journey to see her for the day if he was that upset but he didn't.........he is in sheffield n we r in manchester........not exactly the end of the world.

Jess is still saying she does not want to she her dads partner but we shall see what happens next time.
