Wendy’s stress level has increased and she’s become more and more quarrelsome.  When Brian told her he couldn’t keep on making excuses for ever about having Rhodri to live with them, she issued him with an ultimatum:

Brian - Dw i’n methu gwrthod am byth.
Wendy - Yes, you can.  Achos no way dw i’n mynd i dderbyn bod Rhodri yn byw gyda ni 
trwy’r amser.  And that’s it, Brian.
Brian - Ond rydyn ni’n sôn am Rhodri!  Fy mab i!
Wendy - Gyda pwy wyt ti eisiau byw Brian?  Rhodri neu fi?

Wendy’s  petulance has even extended beyond the confines of her home.  When Jenny mentioned that she’d told Arwyn about Wendy’s new baby, she completely over-reacts: 

Wendy - Jabbering about me to Arwyn... Really...!
Jenny - Roedd ganddo fo ddiddordeb mewn gwybod dy hanes di...
Wendy - Dywedaist ti beth oedd enw’r babi?
Jenny - Do, wrth gwrs...dydw i ddim yn deall pam wyt ti mor flin?

Hmmm - it makes you wonder why Wendy is so touchy about such a trivial conversation…

Main Grammatical Points

Brian’s full of remorse that he’s not kept his promise to Rhodri, who wants to live with him and Wendy full time, and he says:
		
	Dw i heb gadw at fy ngair  
	I haven’t kept my word or literally, ‘I’m without keeping to my word’ 

heb means ‘without’ but it can be used to replace the negative word ddim which we hear all the time -	
	e.g. 	dw wedi clywed - I‘ve heard 
	 	dydw i ddim wedi clywed - I haven’t heard. 

For Dydw i ddim wedi clywed you could say Dw i heb glywed. 
Note also that heb has to be followed by the treiglad meddal - the soft mutation.  Here are some other examples:

	Dw i heb weld y ffilm eto - I haven’t seen the film yet, 
instead of 
	Dydw i ddim wedi gweld y ffilm eto.

	Mae hi heb gyrraedd eto - She hasn’t arrived yet 
instead of 
	Dydy hi ddim wedi cyrraedd eto.

Michelle is smitten with Brian and tells him that if she were his girlfriend there’d be no problem having Rhodri to live with them.

	Pe bawn i’n gariad neu’n bartner i ti, fyddai hynny ddim yn broblem o gwbl.

Pe bawn corresponds to the English ‘if I were’ or ‘if I was’. 
For example:   	Pe bawn i’n ti  		-   If I were you.
		Pe bawn i’n gyfoethog  	-   If I were rich
