Dad finally reaches out and gets slapped down

My husband just called me. At the request of his son, he went to see his football game. Flew out, rented a car, got a hotel room all for 1 night stay. He arrives and the ex, who knew he was comming in town, tells him that he can take the kids to lunch and then to the game, oh by the way the all have friends over and then after the game SS wants to spend the night at his friends house who by the way spent the night at his house last night and SD wants to spend the night at her friends. The other SD went out of town for the weekend. I feel so bad for him. He finally just said this is not worth it. Don't you think Biomom should have freed up the kids a little to be with their father and half sibling. He said he is going to go with the flow but will address it at a later time. I still think he should just say "no" I came all the way here to see you guys the least you can do is spend the time with me. What do you think?

I agree

That's pretty rude and thoughtless on their part. Especially the older ones. I makes it pretty hard to want to go through all of that effort and spend all of that money for future visits.

They should make the time for him.

And this is exactly why my DH doesn't want to fly to see his kids who live seven states away. The wouldn't give him the time of day and why waste the airfare to sit in a hotel room alone.
