Hi All! Thanks in advance.
ex & I try to to accomodate changes in schedules when it comes to the kids. He has changed nights with the boys due to my work schedule I have changed weekends with him when he has requested & I'm able. He has made more changes than I have which have involved weekends.
This is 3 day weekend & it's his with the boys. He asked me last week if I could change. No I can't I have plans for Sat. My oldest has plans to see a concert with a friend, during the day closer to my home than ex's, so I've aggreed my son can stay here Fri. night to make it easier for the people taking him to &from the concert.
Last night ex emails asking if he can bring the other two boys her Sat. afternoon then pick them up Sun. morning. He phrases it in a way that he thinks will make it attractive to me by saying "you'll have them for a birthday breakfast then I'll pick them up." Probably out of the mouth of gf. I tell him no I can't do that I won't be here & I don't want the boys here alone.
The problem is I don't want my son to miss out on this concert he gave us plenty of time to work in just because ex is a selfish you know what. Oldest son can sleep here Sat. night as well if the alternative is to miss the concert but I'm afraid I offer this too soon ex will try to finagle something for the other boys as well. Plus he won't try to make it work for oldest son he will just once again rely on me.
