It's no secret that I hate having skids in my home. I don't even try pretending anymore.

Fortunately, SDs feel mutually and won't come over. We still have SS10 EOW from Saturday at 12pm through Sunday at 6pm. This arrangement isn't really that much time... but DH is a doctor and doesn't really have a whole lot of spare time in general - he didn't when he was married to her either.

Basically, between his work schedule and skid schedule, we are lucky to get one weekend alone every couple months. It's really frustrating. Whenever something comes up, like a wedding, party, etc... he acts like I am a monster by trying to "take away" precious time with his kids. Nevermind the precious time with me he chooses to always give up.

Anyways... this weekend, SS is with us. DH just said to me: "Friends want us to get together on Sunday for dinner at 4pm. I feel like you and I NEVER have any time on the weekend to do things for US. I feel like all my time is spent running the kids around (because BM will not do any transportation at all) and working." Then, he said he's dropping SS off at his home Sunday at noon so that we can enjoy the day together and see our friends!

Wow. I don't know what got into him, but this feels like an early Christmas gift. I bet that BM is going to throw a fit and make him look like the worst dad in the world. Oh well.
