Ex husband being a turd as per usual

Ex rang last weekend at allocated time (1st time in three weeks I should add) and asked if he could have our DS from tomorrow until Tues. I
Said no via Text after consideration as DS is watching a local rugby game on Sun but my mum offered to drive him down after rugby. No answer for two days so mum text again (I don't communicate with him btw). She then text today to say that DS had decided against rugby and he could have him tomorrow.

He finally text back and said no good as he now has plans but could have him from Mon. I have said no which may seem petty without knowing the full story but seeing as he hasn't seen his son in three months and he is off work at the mo, I can't think of any plans which he can't cancel over the weekend. DS isn't a commodity with ex-husband can slot into his life when it suits.

Phew, rant over. Anyone else feel the need to vent, feel free.

Exp hasn't seen dd for 2 months. He is taking her tomorrow and I have plans with a friend. Bearing in mind I have not had a good night sleep or a lie in since dd was born 12 month ago he tells me he can't pick her up too early as he wants a lie in meaning I have to delay my plans.

What the turd...!?!?

I'm sure you feel perfectly justified and there's doubtless a huge back story but isn't the net result of this that DS doesn't see his Dad again? And if he hadn't seen Dad for 3 months there's no way I'd have prioritised watching a rugby match over time with Dad.

How old is LO...I fnd watching a rugby match a bit different to playing in a match...

I am also not sure why he couldn't have him Monday?

As you say it seems petty without knowing the whole of the story...but would it not be better for Dad to not see him for a day rather than not at all?
