Stupid requests,drama gearing up for vacation (of course)

Nymh's picture

BF got a text yesterday "from SS" (BM's number) saying, "Hey Dad can I stay home with Mom this weekend since I will be with you in FLA on her weekend?" BF responded simply "No." Then he gets a response: "Thanks dad for cheating me out of a weekend with Mom!"

Ok first of all, SS is 10 years old. He wouldn't speak this way. Not only do I not think he would abbreviate Florida as "FLA", but he is not passive-aggressive and doesn't say "thanks" when addressing things that anyone has done that he does not like. That's BM's signature phrase. (as in, thanks for leaving me for your whore, thanks for cheating on me, thanks for all the tears, blah blah blah) Secondly, he's not "cheating" her out of anything. BF gets TWO WEEKS OVER THE SUMMER. This is not time that he has to "trade out" with BM. He doesn't have to make exceptions because it might fall on what would normally be her time. THIS IS HIS TIME. Thirdly, this request seems a little silly to me in the first place. SS will only be with us until Sunday evening. Then, he'll go back home to spend the entire week with his Mom until Friday evening, when we'll pick him up on our way to Florida. It just seems like a way for her to take more time away from BF to me.

This, of course, is after she has tried to convince BF that SS should NOT fly to Florida; we should drive, amongst other reasons because "his medications can't stand the change in altitude." WTF? Meds go in carry-on bags, in the pressurized cabin. I'm just waiting for her to start saying that SS "doesn't want to fly". Little does she know that one of the major reasons why we decided to fly in the first place is because ~*~SS~*~, yes, her convenient little excuse for everything, specifically requested that we fly, NOT drive, to Florida this year. She does this all the time. Things that she would not do or does not like, she doesn't want SS to do and comes up with all these silly reasons why not. Come on.

but luckily not to this extent. This BM needs to respect your schedule just like you appear to respect her schedule. Sending text messages that are supposedly from ss are simply childish and don't help anyone. We all have our immature moments but she needs to grow up.

BM didn't want her kids before we're going on vacation. We are taking the skids for two weekends in row plus last weekend was ours so technically we have them for three weekends in a row...although she wants her child support check for each week she doesn't have them! Probably to help support her son she has with the man she left my FH for.
