Maybell XXXIV: Expecto Patronum!

[Maybell]

Help.

Stupid stbx wants a swap for a weekend that I made plans for. He says he needs this for international travel for work.

I probably will buckle and do the swap and try to figure out a childcare solution, but I am really, really angry. My plans are on the shared calendar because I thought he might try to pull this. I'm already accommodating him with a swap he wanted for a personal thing earlier in the same month.

I do not want to hire a sitter to be able to go on this outing. It's 60 miles away and will take up a whole Sunday. No, there is no family nearby to ask.

I feel like this is a boundary issue on my end. He was so angry with me about the proposed settlement because he wanted me to tell my lawyers to make sure he had enough (whatever he thinks that is). I haven't seen his revisions yet. He seems to think it's my job to take care of him. I do not want to do that anymore. God knows he does nothing to take care of me.

I have done more than enough for him. I don't want my kids to suffer because I want to keep my plans. But I have done more than enough for him. He Stinks.
