To think kind and that bm has some ocd, control issues, as she pure confuses and sucks the joy out of everything...

I can't even keep it brief. First off we asked her permission to take as on a long haul this yr. She said yes, but told him straight away, which I thought was off as we would've liked the opportunity to tell our kids together here. Never mind.

Since then she has hinted he won't have enough clothes. Please, the lady buys him clothes that most kids only get for Xmas, every week. Designer, football shirts you name it.

She gets the maintenance and child benefit as well as being well off. So yea Blanked that.
Then it transpires that her and her bf will be away up to the point we take ss away. Bear in mind this is in May... She's started going on about how to pack his stuff, have we got a spare suitcase because she is taking all of theirs. Right, so you're taking all 4 of your cases on a short haul for 2,  including ss case, vinyl wrapped in football memorabilia? Or are you just being awkward!!

All these messages came part of a string of reminders that ss isn't with us on his allocated night tonight, we know, she told us months ago, but now demands a reply 3 times that we know. Yes we know.
In the final message she has to remind us again that they are away '17th to 23rd Feb,' next time you have ss will be 24th'
Er hang on, we have message after message reminding us how you're all away for your 40th, from 17th to 27th Feb. Dnt know or care what's changed, and no reference to the change. Big however, I am taking dd away for half term and dh will be collecting us from airport on 24th so no ss can't visit, and it should not have affected them if he'd still been away as originally  planned!!!
I'm so done with her trying to manage control and weedle around things to our detriment. I bought ss the holiday as a gift, dh can't afford it. Is it just me or does she need this info and shaming into fact I will not be buying him an un needed wardrobe and suitcase for the gig?!
