Venting

So Saturday is W day with the S11 & S16. S11 needed to be picked up from camp. Typically, W comes over to make boys breakfast on Saturday am. I did the driving etc. When I returned I call W and said "Hi we're home". She responded with "Oh, I did not think I would see them today, I have a friend in from out of town". I was calm and said, "OK I'll give them dinner. Talk to you later".

Later S16 told me she had informed him that mom was not coming on Saturday.

I was calm and cordial. This has happened three times now. She does not inform me of change and assumes, I'll step in and/or the boys will be OK on their own.

I've not said anything and it's not been a major inconvenience. Further, it ads to my "She owe's me days" total. So I can use those days when I need.

I'm feeling like a disrespected doormat. I won't bring it up unless she does. Not sure what to do.
