The problem is that my mom is there (although she is not capable of handling any kind of an emergency and Marc is the one who ends up taking care of her instead) and Gabe knows that.

I talked to him this afternoon because the texting was getting to me. Before I talked to him I called Marc to ask him what he wanted. If he had really said he didn't want to be at Gabe's when the broom's son is there. He said he is sick of him and doesn't want to be around 'the baby'. Also, the broom told him (Marc - not Gabe) that she doesn't want him there when her son is there because she doesn't want him getting hurt. Umm...so the broom is going to dictate when Marc can be at his dad's apparently.

I called Gabe and asked him what his plan is for Marc this weekend. Surprise, surprise...he doesn't have one. Marc doesn't want to be there with her son. Gabe said he would pick him up Saturday morning and spend the day with him and take him to his karate testing. That was before Marc failed his 10 minute drill tonight and tomorrow is his last chance and he has to pass it TWICE! I told Gabe that I had plans this weekend and wouldn't be home and that I made the plans with the expectation that Marc would be with him. His response? Well, Marc doesn't have to be watched every minute. I told him that I don't make plans other than work on my weekends with Marc as he is my responsibility, not my mom's. He kind of grunted and him-hawed around that one. He kept repeating that Marc is perfectly fine fixing his own food and watching tv and stuff. Whatever. The concept that being parent means being responsible for your child at ALL TIMES is beyond him. He doesn't remember how to be a father since he's just an every once in a while visitor in his son's life now. How do you just forget 13 years of being a parent? The full time job of it? He's clueless.

FYI - he was fishing for information about where I was going this weekend. I didn't tell him. I wanted to be really rotten and blurt out that I was going away for the weekend to have hot sex with random men but I knew he wouldn't fall for it! It would have been deliciously evil though.
