    I don't know. I tend to hoover right through when I do it as I don't need to unplug to reach everywhere. They tend to spend most of the day watching rubbish TV or playing games on their phones.

    And why does Talia insist on wanting to play when I'm trying to watch something??? If I'm reading she rarely bothers!

    I think that them doing something would be much better each day or every other day as it'll not be such a shock to them when you leave....
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    I don’t want to sound mean and upset you but you’re not helping them by doing everything for them. As Suzi says, it’s going to be a huge shock to them if they don’t adjust before you leave .....
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    He had an email today giving a potential completion date of 4th October. Then he needs to find the courage to tell her he's seeing me. Then he will need to deal with her abuse and threats of not seeing the children, then telling them about me and introducing me to them. Then we're likely to have to battle her trying to poison the children against me while I build a relationship with them. They've had enough grief to deal with without rushing them getting used to me

    I suspect you underestimate them, children are actually really good at dealing with change. Maybe you’ll get what you want sooner than that ......

    He seems to be allowing her to set the time frame... Thing is, I think that the kids are going to love you hunni. You will do no more than love them and show them what they should have - support, stability, love, respect - all the things they have been missing.

    I know a lot of it is he wants the legal stuff done first so she can't use any of that as a way to be awkward. But the huge problem is he's scared of her. It's going to take a long time to deal with over a decade of abuse.
