BM taking her sweet time

Nymh's picture

BF called BM last night to ask if she was going to let SS go on vacation with us this summer, it's been over 24 hours and still no answer. In his message he told her that we needed to make reservations so we need to know if he's going (of course he didn't use the dreaded "WE" he said "I" which I pointedly noticed), and asked her to email or call him so they could talk about it. She called this morning so early that she knew he would still be in bed, and left a voicemail that said he could either call her before 7:15 AM or after 3:15 PM and they could discuss it. He called her at 8:30 PM, no answer (again) and left another message.

I think she's purposefully dragging this out in order to try to sabotage our vacation (Oh, there aren't any rooms left anymore because it took me too long to get back to you? So sorry, guess you guys will have to vacation at home...). Little does she know that I've already booked the vacation and if she decides to be a bitch about it and not let SS go, we're still going anyway. Really all we need to know is how many plane tickets to buy.

We'll see how long it takes her to get back to BF with an answer. The thing that really sucks is that we've planned this vacation specifically for SS because he told us that he wanted to go to "the tropics" for vacation this year. If she says no, then it's her fault he can't go on the vacation he wants. I'd love for her to explain that to him.

Maybe when you call her in the future for something like this, you can phrase it more to whats in it for her.
Maybe you can ask if she would like a vacation, if so get back with you quickly.
When she does you can ask her and tell her your sorry she misunderstood thinking you were going to pay for her vacation...
you just meant she would have some time to herself because you would take the kid and she would have some "me time" or vacation time to do things for herself and have a break.

Would maybe help in getting a speedier return call to make it seem to be ... "all about her"... lol

BM waits to the very last minute to give her answer. We will plan something in advance and she will tell us or SD about 1 or 2 days before. So irratating!!
