Hello everyone.

I have been re-married for almost three years. We have four children all together. He has standard possesion and well, I must say that I managed to get the best divorce when it came to the children. I am successful so I did not need child support. My ex only has the children when he or I should say his new wife allows him to call . Anyway, my husbands ex wife used to travel out of the country a lot. We had the kids 99.9 % of the time. She brought in a man from another country and married him ?!! I'll cut to the chase, here is an example of a situation that always happens, Her birthday was recent . It was my husbands weekend, We offered to switch weekends but she said no. We then offered to bring the children the morning the day of her birthday and she felt 10am was too early to drop the kids. She then called and asked for the night of but, we already had plans. Today she called my husband to play stupid and cry wolf !! He did handle her correctly. Our children are on the same school campus. On Thursday's they are with us and today she had her 11 year old son call me to ask what should she do with her 8 yr.old since eight year olds can't go to the youth lounge. Mind you she is supposed to drop the children to our home at 5pm. (I had to work until 4:15 and my 12 yr.old can attend the youth lounge ). I told my step son to please call his dad. Well, they never called my husband insted she had the nerve to ask my 12 year old to stay with her on the campus. I think that is wrong !!! My 12 yr.old said the the girls mom could not take her because she had things to do.

Do I call her and tell her my daughter would be willing to babysit for a fee? How do we handle this ?

All of the kids get along. No anamosity. They really love each other and call one another "my brother", and "my sister" .

How do I verbally slam dunk her ??

Where was the 11 year old? And how long did 12yo have to watch the 8yo. And if they all get along really well, was it a huge problem for 12yo to watch the 8yo for a short amount of time?

I really don't think that BM should be having the kids call to schedule anything. She needs to call DH and then go from there. Don't ever leave it up to the kids.
