We planned to go to Disney last weekend from Fri-Sun.

Last Monday, I asked SO if we would take Skids home early on Memorial Day. He agreed. ---He is supposed to switch holidays with BM but she never wants them. We get every holiday.

Last Wednesday I told SO I was thinking of taking the next day off work. His first words to me are "You can get kids from school" EVERY TIME I take time off work, he wants me to get his kids. This is why I have so much vacation time. I never take it because I'll be stuck with his kids.

I agree to get them because he gave me a kid free weekend the weekend before. I thought I'd be nice.

So we have Skids Thursday - Monday.....Three days of that times spent at Disney in a hotel (nightmare).

He told me he was taking them home Monday at noon "that way we can feed the lunch"---You know because these overweight Skids don't eat at BM's house. Yeah right.

Anyway....Monday at 10:30 he says he is going to text BM about dropping them off.

Ok, here we go. We had this discussion about dropping them off early with BM 7 DAYS AGO. He is just now texting her about it.

BM says she will pick them up if we can wait awhile.

ME: How long is awhile (with attitude. after almost 6 yrs I know what "awhile" means with BM)
SO: How am I supposed to know. I'm just passing on the message (yelling at me)
ME: It's not an unrealistic question. How long is awhile
about 10 minutes later
SO: She said she's going to leave soon to go buy a car. She will pick them up after.
ME: That could be 3-5 hrs. That's not "awhile"
SO: So what do you want me to do than
ME: Do what you want
SO: No, tell me because I don't want you pissed off at me all night
ME: We already talked about this last week. I picked them up a day early on my vacation time. We had a deal that they would go home early today.
SO: So what do you want me to do
ME: Take them home
---Their 16yr old brother was home to babysit.

Then of course, he was angry with me about the entire situation. Angry because he has to drive them home instead of waiting 3-5hrs for BM to pick them up. Angry that I wanted them out of the house. Angry that BM wasn't going to be home. Angry that Skids were leaving. ALLLLLLL MY FAULT, in his eyes.

This entire situation pissed me off. I should have never been involved in any of that conversation.

1. He should have told BM the day we talked about them going home early. Not 1hr before he was bringing them home
2. Because he was too stupid to coordinate with BM beforehand, he should have figured it out without getting angry with me about it.

Next time he wants me to get these kids on my vacation time, he is out of luck. AND I'm going to bring up this situation. Because actions have consequences. He just screwed himself.
