Sorry, just in need of a rant!
I'm currently a Sahm with DCs aged 2 and 4. Returning to work pt in sept.
DCs go to their dad eow. However, he called last night asking if he can have them this sat (my weekend) as his bday is thurs (he's seeing them thurs eve) and wants them at his party. When I said we have some plans, I get an absolute earful and he hangs up phone! Why does he seem to think I have them "all the time" so he should be able to dip in and out as suits him? I have friends and family who work too and who I want to see at the weekend! When I asked why he didn't arrange party for the weekend before, when he had DCs, all it get is another earful about how he can't wait till I'm back at work so he can screw me over with access too?! Not sure how he thinks anything will change because I'm working in the week, just means I'm seeing less of DCs too so less likely to give him extra access! All this after I've agreed I'll drop them at his on thurs pm to help him out - an hour round trip for me - no thanks for it.
So then agreed he can have them till 4 on sat so we can still go to our afternoon/eve thing. Also think he only wants them at party to show off as trophies anyway, won't be any other kids there, just bunch of 30 something's drinking all afternoon and evening.
And now get an earful from my DP about how I shouldn't have and should have said no :0( can never win can we?!
