    "LITTLE bit nutty???"

    more like insane (and i'd not have it any other way!)

    i think you're right in that we'll let the girls know the same as everyone else. given that we'll be telling my Aunt on Christmas Day (she has an intellectual disability, so i need to wait until i can manage her enthusiastic calls EVERY day!), our plan is to post our Christmas cards on Christmas eve so that they arrive for the extended family soon after Christmas. i'm thinking the easiest thing for DH's god daughters will be to post their cards at the same time - and then leave it up to them to contact DH to talk about it when (if) their parents let them

    i'm standing by the notion that they will only be allowed out here when we are ready for them - and when DH can pick them up and take them home. their parents have not been welcome on the property since nephew took a swing at DH and the police had to be called. if they turn up, the local copper lives next door, so he'll be summoned and they'll be charged with trespass. we won't tell them which hospital we're at, so they wont be able to turn up there either!

    well, just thought i'd update this thread - DH decided yesterday to tell his god daughters we're pregnant - both girls we're really excited, and their dad (trouble makers husband) was really supportive. i've talked to DH, and we're both prepared to work on a relationship with the girls, via their dad - and the girls will be able to see the baby when it arrives - but their mother is not to come within cooee of our kidlet EVER. DH knows i'm not afraid to do anything in my power to protect our child from her and her toxic influence, even if it becomes physical or involves calling the police to remove her from our property, and will back me up the whole way. thankfully, my family (who remain friends with DH's nephew) are also very supportive. hell, it even seems like DH's nephew is taking our "side" in this and being supportive in helping us to re establish contact with his kids - whether his wife likes it or not! i guess maybe she's shown her true colors to a few more people, and they're realising we're not the bad guys they thought us to be
