Thanks guys, I appreciate all your comments - some great feedback.

I've just received an email from the W asking if I could have our S this weekend (it's her scheduled weekend), because she wants to go to a spa weekend with a friend (so she says).

I've told her no - I have my own plans!

I'm angry because she's said that she'll ask her mom if I can't do it - she said she wanted to give me the opportunity 1st. This woman is shirking all her responsibilities as a Mother and it's my S who will suffer.

I'll be the very best Dad I can be, but I'm not prepared to be a back up solution to her when she doesn't feel like parenting.

Should I / do I have the right to tell her she needs to acknowledge and handle her responsibilities as a parent or just leave it?...
