So... BM did it again & scheduled to go away on a weekend we're supposed to have SS10 - big surprise!

She is then surprised that he's upset that he's going to miss time with his dad, so we're going to have him for a couple of extra nights this week instead.

I'm glad that he's sticking up for himself, and saying what he wants & needs in terms of contact with his dad, but why doesn't she get it? Why does this woman think she can mess her own son around & deny him time with his dad?

I think this has got a lot to do with SS10 saying he wants 50/50 custody, though she's not keen (I suspect because of the impact it would have on child support).

This kid has really started acting out recently, but only when he's with her - at ours he's not perfect but does as he's told, helps out etc. I don't want to judge her parenting skills, but can't stop myself - am I a bad person?
