As a night nurse I have to work Thurs fri and sat 12 hr shifts.The plan was make a nice dinner thurs with my daughter ,son, new husband and daughters fiancee then go on to work.Suddenly his ex decides to dump the 13 and 15 sk on wed and pick them up sun.She does not work and wants to spend it w/ her boyfriend of 7 yrs.I have posted how bad living cond get when they are there,filth!How am I going to sleep to go back in much less feed the locusts on my salary for 5 days and keep up the house.I think I am going to have to cancel with my daughters fiancee.So unfair to dump this on me when I already carry the ball.

I know exactly what you mean. However, you should definitely NOT cancel any plans that you had prior to the EX's change of heart. You need a break and a chance to enjoy life as the mother of YOUR children. Don't feel guilty for wanting to reserve special times for your kids and your new husband. You are not the perpetual baby-sitter.
