DH is upset because SS12 plays this little game where BM texts DH asking when can she come get SS on her day. SS says 2pm or 4pm then when he is alone he will text BM and tell her to pick him up at 8am when DH made plans based on thinking SS was staying most of the day. Once again I ask "why are y'all giving him control over this?"

DH is also worried that SS will pull the same stunt next week because BM wanted to switch weeks for a reason he probably thinks she's going to do something cool. I told DH if he gets up and SS is gone too bad we're going without him. He's not going to be apart of this family only when he thinks we are going to do something cool (the kids don't know about our vacation plans) and I told DH if he wanted to stay home and sulk he could. I am still taking DS. I'm certainly not going to sit at home and do nothing because his kid is being a brat.

I get it, I really do, SS loves his dad, he loves our house. But at BMs he has no annoying brother to deal with, no chores, he can do whatever he wants. He has the best of both worlds I guess.
