You didn't ask me, so nope, back to BM's they go. :)
After a fight last week over DH`s communication with BM, we finally made up this weekend.
But yesterday DH did it again. He called BM to ask if he can drop kids back on Mon instead because we had family over and were barbeque-ing and staying up late. Well the mistake he made was asking her before asking me. I found out when he was telling the kids he'd drop them back on Mon - another mistake really - telling the kids before telling me!
BM throws tantrums and doesn't want to send the kids when they are going to be home with me while DH is at work. So I have come to the point where I no longer fight to have them, instead I prefer not to have them and enjoy my free time. Sucks for DH sometimes, but I think he does not maximize the time he DOES have with them and that's not my problem.
So I told DH to drop them back home last night, and he did. He was angry and tried to tell me that dropping them back home last night was my idea (when it became inconvenient to him) but I reminded him that I wasn't asked if they could stay and I wasn't informed in a timely manner, so as far as I am concerned, dropping them back last night was the only plan there ever was. Felt damn good to get my way.
