The two SDs came home after having their weekend with their mum (every second weekend), walked in the door and announced "Mum said if we want to go and live back with her (DH and I have had them living with us since Aug last year after BM announced she didn't want them anymore) all we have to do is tell the principal at school that Dad smacks us and the principal will phone some people and organise our return to her" Girls are 6 and 7 and don't really understand what she is doing. It is all about money because at the moment BM doesn't have a job, is having to pay us child support and isn't getting govt assistance for the girls. If she got them back, we would have to pay her child support and she would get govt assistance and wouldn't have to work. I have told the school what is going so I think we are fairly covered but it is a stress we don't really need
