Why can't they figure their plans out?

I deal with my husband and his two sons 9and 13 when it's time for visitation. Neither one of the parents wanna make plans it's always up to the kids what they want. Bull crap you guys are adults and say... Your staying for this weekend or not. The kids mom moved closer to us just 45 mins away. I love it... We have the youngest live with us and she gets him every weekend and the other one whenever he wants cause he's homeschooled. Whatever the kids want. And it drives me crazy. So I flipped my lid and said no to the 13 yr old he can't come next month for the whole month. Our family still has to work and go to school. It's not fair to him to be here while his dad sleeps all day and don't spend time with him. and the parents thing is well he likes to hangout and your house. There is nothing to do here. He don't do nothing but iPad 24-7. So my question is am I mean for telling my husband to make concrete plans not plans of whatever..?

I think it's mean to say he can't come. If the two of them (dad and son) are happy to sit around the house and do nothing all day, so be it.

That's better than the kids/dads who think they have to have every minute of every visit filled with fun events.

My husband finally told me he needs to talk to his ex.. But he won't and the stupid woman will probably just send his work with him and have my husband or want me to check it. He'll no I work and take care of everything else. But neither parents will deal with this visitation time till a couple days before or I put my foot in his ass to deal with it.....

I am kinda a strict parent I have a 13 and 16 yr old. And it's difficult with teenagers as it is and then add the 9 yr old ss. They fight like cats and dogs. The 13 yr old ss has asburgers so he different from the others. I don't think he likes me cause he avoides me. Yes if my kids get in trouble I yell or say a bad word and his mom don't. And if the kids fight I get after them.

I feel like neither parent really cares and let the kids do whatever and there you go. I make sure they bathe, brush teeth, and the 13 yr ss eats everything and don't share which pisses me off to. So should it drive somebody else crazy or am I just a mean stepmom?

The funny thing is even on his days off he may spend a good hour with him playing video games. Otherwise the kid is camped in my front room on his iPad 24-7. Grrrr

So It happened again .. Yes it's not my kid but I would like to know what is going on the day before. His excuse today was he thought he told me the ss was leaving to go for visitation this weekend. No dammit I'm just now finding out. And yes he did go last weekend so I thought not this weekend. Grrr so from now on I feel like I should just keep my mouth shut and when my kids have plans not tell him shit. But the funny thing is he is wanting to know everything about mine. Any suggestions??? The boys mom is supposed to get him every weekend or every other. It depends on if the boy wants to go. Bull poop set it up for visitation and stick with it. All i want is to be informed!!!
