As many of you know, there are recurring issues with my step children , husband and his ex wife.
You may also recall that she often asks my husband if the boys can stay longer than they're scheduled to, even when my husband won't be here. He always says yes. They leave me out completely, except for being the person who has to keep an eye on them of course. And we all know what happened the last time she did it - the youngest wrecked his car getting to school that Monday morning (he'd stayed here Sunday night because she was on another of her mini vacations).
So...I get a text from her a few minutes ago, asking if it would be OK if the boys stayed here Sunday night, instead of them going home at six, per the agreement. She said that she had an opportunity to go out of town this coming weekend and could I keep the boys and take the young one to school (a thirty minute drive and my daughter and I having to wake up an hour earlier) on Monday and then pick him up from school (another 30 minute drive) and have both boys here with me until she gets them Monday evening (no time given). She has done this so many times without even asking me. And I know the only reason she's bothering to ask me instead of my husband, is because she needs me to drop and pick up from school, so that will require my cooperation. Also, I've asked her for WEEKS to confirm the summer visitation schedule and she simply won't do it. School is out in less than two weeks.
What do you think of such a request?
