So this has been going on for sometime now that the ex wife has been less than supporting of the relationship the children have with their father.
Last weekend we had the children and S9 was upset he had to go back to mom's, she we talked about how he had school and we would see him the next weekend for our first Christmas party. He then told me that he gets excited when he comes to our place and his mom always asks him 'why do you hate me?' when he gets excited.
Dad picked up the kids Friday night and he asked what they did for Mommy on her birthday (as the kids asked if he remembered it was her birthday) and they said not much. Then S9 says guess what Mommy asked for us too get her for her birthday. Dad was told that Mom told the children that she didn't want to hear them talk about Dad or I at all that day. S9 told Mom that was silly and Mom responded that it was important to her that they don't talk about us.
The kids were very upset at this as every time they mentioned either of us mom would tell them they must hate her.
Obviously there is nothing we can do to stop Mom from talking this way but what else can we say to the children without it seeming like we are coming down on Mom?
