BM's father coming to OUR house????

So I'm driving to work this morning and get a phone call from my BF asking if I left the house yet. Yes I was on my way to work, he says that BM has been calling his phone non-stop because she found out that the kids didn't want to go to daycare today, they wanted to hang around the house instead. SS11 and SD9 HATE the daycare, as I understand they are getting older, and they wanted to stay home instead. So my Mom was off today and said she would come by around lunch time to see how things were and stay with them for a while. I had no problem with this, as it wasn't a big deal. So BM freaks because she "thinks" they should be at the daycare (which is also where she works), but that is only because she feels like she is more in control if they go there during the day on our weeks so she can "check up" on them. It's patethic. All school year long she won't see them all week, but because school is out now, she has to have them there everyday. Whatever, so I told him that she would have to deal, it's our week anyhow, we don't instruct her what to do on her weeks, so why should she on ours???

So I get to work and get another phone call from my BF saying that BM's father was really upset because the kids really were just going to the daycare until BM's father could come and pick them up and take them fishing today. WTF! Now the story changes, as it ALWAYS does! So BM's dad talks to my BF on the phone and asks him if he can take skids fishing, so he tells him yes. I'm pissed because he is going back on our decision to let them chill out at the house today, but the bigger problem is that BM's dad is coming to my house while noone is there except the skids????????

I was livid! If they were normal people I wouldn't care as much, but they are nosey type people, always wondering what is going on with my BF and I and how we are living our lives. BM is not allowed at our house at all because she is so psycho, her Dad tries to be civil, but still will do anything his dear daughter asks him to. I can't believe that my BF is completely fine with this whole thing, and he is acting like I'm being rediculous. I told him why don't you just invite BM over later for dinner, you know since our house is such a public place for everyone.

Sorry, I needed to get that out! Grrrrrrr, I don't understand why my BF thinks all these things that he decides are no big deal. Ummmm it's my house too, don't be so inconsiderate, ask me before you allow something like this to go on! I guess if we would have talked about it first, it would have been different...

I honestly don't see the big deal in it. They are spending the day fishing with grandpa instead of being bored at home. I would be more relieved and at ease that they are with an adult as opposed to being home alone considering they are still kinda young.
If I were you or BF, and I was really concerned about grandpa being nosey I would call the kids at home and make sure that they know to be ready by the time grandpa gets there so they can just walk out to his car.

I'm with ami opn this one too as BM is not allowed at our place either. She's so jealous and always asking ss questions about what we buy. Her dad is as bad as she is! He often stops by to talk to FH and it makes me so mad. He had the balls to ask FH how much he paid for his new truck!! I said I hope you told him to F* off! No DH lied and said a smaller amount. WTF!!

Anyway I'm so with you ami... and I would've replied the same: I told him why don't you just invite BM over later for dinner, you know since our house is such a public place for everyone. love it!!

We totally have the same sort of stuff too, soooooo nosey to see what we have in our house, what new things we have bought. It's kinda their way to keep tabs to see how we are doing financially -> If BM should bother trying to get even more money from us! My BF like your FH does the same thing, will actually entertain their crazy questions, I can't believe it either!

It has been bad with her whole family in the past, to the extent that we had restraining orders against both BM and BM's Mom. The Father is the only one we haven't had formal court cases with, but that's not going without saying he hasn't done things before. BM's brother is in jail and has stole numerous things before from my BF when we were living together, I guess he doesn't like girl stuff because nothing of mine was missing, but it really creeped me out. A family of crazies is an understatement.

It's not about me not wanting them to spend time with their Grandfather like some others think, and my Mom was coming to spend the day with them she just wasn't there yet. No I don't leave my skids home alone to burn down the house like some others think. But BF hasn't responded since I told him how inconsiderate it is for him to let BM's dad over to get the kids and we should just let everyone over all the time. Maybe he is realizing. But really it's more about we make many decisions about the kids on our weeks together and this we did together and then he just changes, and lets me know after the fact... WTF, I thought we were a team????

Totally with Ami on this one.

Your week, your rules...and her family has NO place at your house.

You and your BF made a decision and he needs to stick it.

I would be pissed!

So you are okay with an 11 and 9 year old home alone all day when they can be with a responsible adult? :?

At very most they would have been there for 2 hours MAX before my Mom got there, no more than the time after school until we get home from work.

I would have called the kids and tell them to get ready and wait outside of the house for grandpa. Once I was sure grandpa was 5 minutes away. End of story, Kids spend the day fishing, but grandpa doesn't go "in" the house.

Ami and her BF made a decision...her BF changed it without consulting her and probably only did it because BM wanted him too.

I guess I find it hard to beleive that the plans with Grandpa existed before BM got pissed off.

I do not see anything wrong with the kids being home alone...especially with Grandma checking on them...

I guess I see it as a hot summer day and two pre teen kids are home alone. A lot can happen in two hours. A lot can happen in two minutes.
I still think that calling the kids and making sure they are ready so they can be outside waiting for Grandpa is innocent enough.
And I also feel like things happen. Whether its YOUR week or HER week. Changes take place. It doesn't really matter who sent grandpa, it could have very well been BM, but I would just be happy that they are out enjoying a peaceful day with their family and not getting into trouble tearing up our home.
