We have this fun weekend planned, camping, hiking, fishing, relaxing kayaking, no talk of SS/BM/or custody stuff, it has consumed our lives for the past month and I needed a break.

DH just called me, long story short.......BM is on a kid free vacation with her new BF, even though she is being evicted and was suppose to be out last weekend, and doesn't have a job! Anyhow, off she goes, and has her elderly, sick mother come watch her kids (there's 3 of them, one being SS11) SS is with us right now, but expected to go back with GBM tomorrow morning and then we are off for our well deserved weekend. Apparently GBM is too sick to watch the grandkids so we now need to keep SS until BM returns on Sunday!!!

NO fun relaxing mini-vacay for us.........

Your DH needs to take responsibility and reschedule your weekend away all by himself. Time to be pampered. Ugh, so shitty for you.

I know the feeling.  DH just messed up our last two skid-free weekends in August.  Now plans have to be cancelled and we once again get no time alone.

Is there anyone else who can watch SS? I would not be willing to give up that wknd easily. I'm sorry!

It's not that easy.....first off we would lose our money at the campsite, it's less than 24 hours notice. Secondly, next weekend is our weekend with SS, and the weekend after we have plans with our adult children and grandchildren at the beach. Third, we took time off from work, half day tomorrow and all day Monday, my job requires me to give a months notice in the summer for time off.

I know Major!!! and part of me feels like a brat for complaining that I don't get alone time with my DH, most couples with children do not get alone time with their spouses, let alone a whole weekend. I raised 4 kids with my exH, I remember us both taking a morning off from work and meeting for coffee and counting that as a date, lol.

I'm disappointed, and angry that BM's poor choices effect my life so much.
