Scout, may I offer a different perspective? This doesn't turn on whether it was right or wrong for him to have asked or whether it is your responsibility. I personally would rather be the one to transport my child 1/2 hour by car than rely on unnamed others, arranged by a flaky ex-husband to do so. While I know you have lots and lots of time with S2, as the parent of one child in college and another soon to be, I can tell you that the times we spent in the car driving places were some of the best times we spent talking, laughing, singing, playing I spy, you name it. Forget about your Ex. Always, in every case, do what is best for S2. Let that be your driving force and the consideration that dictates your actions.
I totally second that. Every single part of it. And add to that that nothing that you do is going to teach your H or his family to see things rightly. Just be the light to your kid.
His Scout. After reading this, IMHO, I agree that being the light to your kid is the thing to do. I may have felt differently before, and it may not be what was planned, but for your kid, just roll with it. How lucky that your kido has family to spend time with. How lucky are the family that you are cooperative and understanding. At least you still get those hours for yourself and they are precious. (My alone time is when I sleep alone, daycare or nanny when I work. There's no dad and no family. Friends always offer to help if I need a break, so I've got that... never used it, only in emergencies.)
((( hugs ))) from one single mom to another. I don't know how s mom's with more than one do it! ((hugs to them too))
