Why do they wait till the eleventh hour to shit on your plans?????

Big plans this weekend for SO and myself with the kids. My nephews are having a big water slide/pool birthday party and even though we let BM have SS4 last weekend (which was ours) so he could visit his grandmother (for 2 weeks, nice way to pawn off your kid) we have just been informed that we would not be getting him this weekend either bc he isn't coming back until Sunday..

Just to cheer me up, post some of your own BM plan ruining stories please? How have they crapped all over your perfect itinerary?

We are really into Downton

We are really into Downton Abbey. The season opener was the Sunday they were here but scheduled to leave at 6PM. I was really excited and had the whole evening planned for us. 5 minutes prior to departure time, FDH gets a text from BM's phone. It was her friend typing for her. Apparently, we needed to keep the kids an extra night because BM was "drunk and sad" and couldn't get home to meet the kids. I was livid but what were we to do?

So the next morning, FDH dropped the kids at BM's. She apologized profusely and said she owed us one. A couple months later I tried to cash in that night for my brother's wedding. I asked weeks in advance (not minutes). Guess who decided we actually owed HER more time?? Bitch.

Also, instead of the special

Also, instead of the special shrimp risotto FDH had planned for us, we had to eat crappy tacos because we didn't have enough for everyone. AND we had to watch the show super late because of some crap with YSD. AND I couldn't go on FB b/c all my friends would be making comments about the show. Can you tell I am still pissed?

Well I planned on not having

Well I planned on not having skids around tomorrow, which is BM's weekend with them.

Of course, we find out today that she's working tomorrow night, so they'll be here. That'll make 5 out of the past 6 Friday nights we've had them. Yay BM.

That would be a major issue

That would be a major issue for me.

It's becoming a major issue

It's becoming a major issue for me. I just don't know how to push it without sounding like a bitch. Yep, I'd like to hang alone with FDH. but that would mean skids sitting alone at BM'S while we have fun. I hate this shit.

Why doesn't she know her

Why doesn't she know her schedule until the last minute? Sounds like if she's going to have to work most Friday nights that you need to re-work the schedule.

The twunt queen works retail

The twunt queen works retail so her schedule varies. I'm sure she knows in advance, but is too much of an idiot or too much of a twunt to let FDH know in a timely fashion. I was looking forward to a skid free night tomorrow - guess I'll be at the casino alone or something.

Well, try to have fun.

Oh I sure will.

After having the SK's Dec 23,

After having the SK's Dec 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27, BM was supposed to have them back in our town by NOON on the 28th so we could go to my extended family's Christmas. Noon came and went... then 1pm... then 2pm.... We were supposed to be at my family's by 5pm for dinner (they live about an hour away). DH called and called and called and she wouldn't answer her phone until about 2:30 and announced that she hadn't left the city she was in yet (about 2 hours away from us) and would MAYBE leave within the next hour.

As long as I have known DH, he has NEVER had his kids on Thanksgiving or any days remotely near Christmas. But by god, we seem to end up with them every.single.party.holiday.

It was really no issue with me that the SK's were obviously not going to come with us, as they refuse to speak to anyone in my family. But DH was pissed and then sulky and wasn't exactly in a "festive" mood so I left his ass home too. I made it very clear to him that no way no how was her shittiness going to keep ME from MY family.
