Okay, so I must've mistaken what my wife said about her keeping my son today because her parents are here. Now do you see, boys and girls, why we need to have written schedules so confusions like these never happen?
Sorry to here things are so rough right now. As a W I know I have an uncontrollable urge to protect my kids. You may know your intentions with your son are only because you love him...but if you have in any way made W doubt that, she may not worry about your feelings at all. I definately have an issue with being over protective of my kids. Not making excuses for her, but it is only been a few days.
Relax, take a really deep breath and go do something for yourself. It will work out. Be the best dad you can! Sending you a great big hug!!!!

You're right, Wanda. She's needing to put our son under the same protective shield she has. That, and she has tons of resentment of me, which is totally understandable.
Thanks for the great big hug!
UPDATE 6:15pm I'm so happy to spend time with my sweet little boy who's not so little any more. My wife dropped him off early (without communicating), but nevertheless I got to spend almost 2.5 hours with him. Took him to the playground across the street, then pushed him in his push car around the neighborhood, stopping by another local playground along the way. We had Vietnamese for dinner, then he watched Toystory 3 while playing with his train tracks. Fun stuff!
My wife comes to pick him up and packs more of her stuff from the bedroom. She then accuses me of hiding our son's pants from her so she had to buy more for him yesterday. I'm, like, what? I tried explaining to her that I did a whole bunch of mine and his laundry the night she told me she was going to take the washer. And when she moved the next day, I still hadn't gotten around to folding his and my clothes. So sue me for holding his clothes hostage. Arrrggh! Was this another test to see how I react? Or just a cheap potshot?
Remember Alamo, they view every act of commission or omission through a lens of malice. They cannot believe the best of you. It would destroy their narrative. BTW I <3 Chuck. He's great.
