I may B U.

OH in Navy - only see each other (most)weekends.

Had nice w/e planned with OH this one just gone as I had no kids and OH went to see some visiting relatives from abroad 300 miles away (who came at short notice). I was unable to go with him as I have students. So spent weekend on my own and saw some friends etc(ended up working). Will see him this weekend for first time in two weeks and will spend weekend with him and my DCs.

School hols this weekend looking forward to weekend without kids weekend after to prepare for holiday and DD's bday and spend some time alone with OH. I have been very unwell the last 6 months and am looking forward to a rest in the hols from full on kids

We are then going away on holiday for a week just the two of us then having one of his DC's (and my 3) for 2 weeks. We have asked the mother of his other 2 DCs (months ago) if we can have them for a week so they can see their sibling. She has said no as she has a friend satying for two weeks .

He has now said today she wants us to have them the weekend after next (my kid free weekend). I have gone a bit mental as I feel I am dancing to her tune constantly when we have offered to have them for a whole week.

He can't get them this weekend as he can't afford the petrol and I can't lend it.

ARGH please be honest and tell me - AIB a selfish bitch step mother from hell?

Ladyanonymous · 20/07/2010 22:55

pregnantteen · 20/07/2010 22:55

i dont understand what the last two people said?
could you explain please?

TheCrackFox · 20/07/2010 22:57

With the best will in the World pregnantteen you are making a prat of yourself.

I spend all day behaving myself in front of my children and I come onto Mumsnet to relax. I am sure most of us could do without pious lecturing.

pregnantteen · 20/07/2010 23:00

okokok you do what you please!
but i will be the one laughing in your face when your child starts swearing at u! u wait for that day and let me know how u feel!!!!

fearnelinen · 20/07/2010 23:01

pregnantteen I've just read a few of your other posts on here and you are either a very bad troll or a very young girl going through a tough tough time.
Can I suggest that if you feel very strongly about swearing, you start a thread entitled AIBU to really disagree with swearing? Then you have a place to debate your views. But, can I say that if what you have said elsewhere is true, that you my have bigger things to think about right now.

But here is not the place, someone has asked for help and so this is her space (and anyone who wants to be involved with her debate).

tiredandgrouchy · 20/07/2010 23:01

Oh pregnantteen that's no way for a good muslim girl like you to talk.
Seriously, Worst Troll Ever.

TheCrackFox · 20/07/2010 23:01

I will do what I want thanks but I wasn't aware that I needed your permission.

pregnantteen · 20/07/2010 23:04

fearnelinen · 20/07/2010 23:41

Anyway Ladyanonymous as I was saying...:

YANBU to try to gain some control of the situation, but if it were me, I'd get her to do it as it sounds like she doesn't want to please him in anyway (I'm just comparing to my situation). So, approach her (or get him to) and explain something about Naval commitments means that he really needs to plans his weekends carefullyover the next 6 months, so could she jot down the weekends she can do. Then, see how this compares with your list, if there are dates on her but not on yours, suggest one of yours as an alternative?
I think about Exes the way I deal with children and most men...let them think it was their idea and congratulate them wholeheartedly for being so clever!

LimaCharlie · 20/07/2010 23:51

OP I sympathise - like you've said I think you have to "suck it up" - but good idea about giving dates - makes her feel in charge [winl]
