SKIDS not coming this weekend...

DH just informed me.

Curiosity got the better of me and I asked him why not. He said that an aunt on their mother's side is having a retirement party so BM told him he couldn't have the kids this weekend. I didn't respond. What is there for me to say?

I mean, breaking out into a happy dance and busting out the New Year's Eve noise-makers to celebrate seemed slightly inappropriate, perhaps even cruel.

Whatever.

So over it his drama.

If it is in the CO that it is his weekend he is a dumb ass and it is his own fault. I dont get these dads, if it was my kid and I only had every other weekend you best believe that I would be busting down the freaken door if you with hold visitation from me. errr....

enjoy your free weekend.

It may be in the CO, but courts like to see that parents are adult enough to work together when things like this come up.

You can't expect extended family to play things around the CO.

Allowing kids to attend a family event on his time is a good t
hing. I hope BM is adult enough to return the favor.

yes but you can not tell me that the event is two days long. Plus just now being notified of it is BS. Co-Parenting requires communication and notice to events. BM failed and his balls are in her purse. Plus a retirement party is not an event that a kid needs to attended.

DH also makes allowances for family gatherings, and occasionally Uberskank returns the favor.

We don't have his kid this weekend either. She has a slumber party and DH made the decision when she got into HS that he wouldn't hold her to the schedule because he wanted her to have a relatively normal social life during her 4 years in HS. Something she really hasn't experienced yet.

However I suspect that Uberskank takes advantage of this to use DH's kid for free babysitting of her younger sisters on DH's weekends.

We can happy dance together! I mean in the bathroom. In private. Smile

If only DW wasn't the custodial parent, I'd have some hope of a happy dance in the future.

As it is, I have to resort to booze.

I think I may end up in AA at some point.
