I got all dressed up as I planned... H was angry looking because he had tried to put off taking the kids since he had something else to do. He expected me to cave and cancel my plans tonight just because he wanted me to... Told him no way, that he knew what arrangements we made. He ended up getting SIL2 to come and meet us so he could do both. She's taking them to the house while H does whatever. SIL2 barely glanced at me and didn't reply to my greeting. Boy does that hurt as she and I were closer than I was with SIL1... I didn't let it show, just got in my car and got busy calling someone on my phone, acted all happy.
Turns out my plans fell through and I am literally all dressed up with no where to go.
...
Just found out why SIL2 didn't want to talk to me.. She's pissed that H convinced her to take the kids tonight...SIL1 just called and reamed me out for not agreeing to keep the kids until tomorrow..(I had told him I had plans and couldn't). Said that I should have cancelled my plans because they're my kids and they come before going out...
Told her that I ensured that I was there for the time they are with me and H should do the same since it's only every other weekend. I said I planned things when I knew I wouldn't have them and should not have to cancel because he asks nicely. I would not feel guilty for thinking of myself for the 25% of the time I don't have them.
She said she expected him to be irresponsible but not me...
I don't know why I tried to justify myself with her... It is none of her business anyway...
Wow. They enable him at every turn...And I am the bad guy again...
**sigh**
