FH sent me a text at 2:30 this afternoon to tell me that he was "stopping for a few"...meaning beers. His kids get home at 3:00 pm so I was a bit pissed that he left it up to me to take on the responsibily to care for them...since he see's it as 75% to 25% parenting. So, I was more mad when he came home completely drunk, and admitted it. He apologized to me for having way too many but I'm still pissed about it. Because he couldn't get his shit straight tonight, we picked SS9 up from football a half an hour late. I'm not sure if BM didn't tell him the right time or he just didn't remember the right time...I felt like a complete doofus picking him up late. I'm almost thinking that FH forgot while he was out drinking and didn't relay the early pick-up time to me...which makes me look like the bad SM. I soooo want to teach FH a lesson about going out on OUR nights with the kids because HE should be the one that is home when they come home from school...no matter if I am home or not...HE is their DAD... I am there to fill in but I don't think I should be there if FH is out "having a few".

Next time say, "Sorry honey, I'm not at home, so looks like you need to be."

Ditto, Middle.

What is he doing going out getting blasted at 2:30 in the afternoon on a Monday when his kids are coming to visit?

Yea I agree with Squil, Monday afternoon sure is an odd time to pick to go "for a few". Nothing wrong with hangin with his buddys every once in awhile, but when it interferes with things like this its a no go.
I would bring up the 75/25 nonsense everytime he pulls something like this. Make him realize that was a ridiculous statement.

They are not your responsibility. He needs to "Man up" and take care of his own kids.

I agree with everyone else that has posted. They are not your responsbility. The kids are his "problem" and he needs to pick a different day to go out drinking!
