Hey all,
Need some advice about a situation I found myself in yesterday and I want to see how some of you would have handled it.
It was my weekend with my kids this past weekend and on Saturday I get a text from the STBXW asking if she could pick the kids up early on Sunday because she was really missing them. Even though it was my weekend I said sure because I knew what she was going through. I had the kids two weekends in a row due to the fact that we switched weekends because of mothers day and her dad was in town in May. She ended up having the kids two weekends in a row and I missed them like crazy so I knew how she was feeling.
Anyways I started talking to my daughter who began telling me that they were going to spend time with my STBX and her boyfriend. Well as you can imagine that set me off. I only agreed to her picking up the kids early due to the fact that I thought she was going to spend quality time by herself with our kids not bring them over to her boyfriends house. So I called her and told her in a calm way that I wouldn't give up my time with the kids so she could bring them over to her boyfriends house. Which in turn she told me per our conversation on Saturday that I had already agreed to her getting the kids and it shouldn't matter what she was going to do with them.
It turned into a huge fight and she started saying she was going to fight for full custody of the kids and take them away from me. She started calling me a POS and every name in the book. It took everything I had not to explode on her (the old me would have done that at the fist POS that came out of her mouth). My problem was the fact that she didn't tell me the whole story about what she was going to do with the kids because she knew I would have said no to her picking up the kids early. She just doesn't get it.
So my question is what would you have done? How would you have handled it?
I ended up letting her pick up the kids early because the kids started overhearing our conversation and I just wanted the fighting to end for their sake. I really feel that I was played and I will never let her pick up the kids early ever again because she wants to play mommy.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
