Dh's father just offered him some work on weekends out of state...since this weekend is mothers day we skip our turn for skid visit..I was just informed we will have him for two weekends in a damn row because of this....I am begging him to take skid with! I can't handle my three plus his openly defiant child after just getting back home....any advice on how I can convince him to take skid with him?

Remind him that the point of visitation is for the child to spend time with HIM, not you, and simply tell him that you are not prepared to handle all four kids alone while he's gone for the weekend.  If that's what he expects, maybe another visit to your mother is in order.

You simply say 'no'.

Parenting time/ vistation is for the parent. Your DH is the parent. He is not only busy he will also be out of state. The child needs to stay with BM.

NCP does not have to take visitation. If your DH is not going to be home and can’t take him with him then the skid stays with BM. You are not their babysitter.

That' the thing BM is so obsessed with partying and being trashy (all these dui*s* and drunken accidents and still no ankle bracelt or anything!) That it doesn't matter to her who has the kid as long as it' not her. And he can never go home in mornings it always has to be at least two thirty pm before she even considers taking him back (wtf man) I understand she needs a break but my dh NEEDS to work.

NCP is not required to take visitation.  He informs her he cannot take visitation because he is out of town.  Alternatively, he could see if his parents want grandchild time.  Otherwise.. nope.. not your problem.  He won't be there.. so kid stays with mom.  Mom can find a babysitter or whatever.

Now, if you personally want to protect the child from his mom.. your choice.  But, your DH must decline this visitation since he works out of town these weekends.. or he can take kid with him.

Andddd if Mom tries to drop him off or dad picks him up... YOU return him to mom's house.  inform her that her EX is out of the state and that you aren't taking responsibility for her son.

And he's going to be even more of a hassle when he realizes we did not buy him a new Nintendo switch, because that was an other point I brought up in our fight...my point in that was both our child together and his child broke something very expensive to replace,only my child who doesn't know any better as he is still learning got punished. And I simply said since his child does know better and was told repeaedly  to be careful while playing and not jumping up and down on my bed while playing it, he should have to suffer the consequences for not listening and openly doing the opposite of what he was told.

He freaked out on your toddler and not his older son for the damage done to the electronics??!! Heck no, techno! Visitation does not need to be 2 weeks in a row if SS is EOWE. Period.

If dad is not home for visitation, the kid either doesn't come or he goes with dad. Period.
