Another blog reminded me of this..how to piss of the VI and B* at the same time
Another blog post reminded me of this little ditty from a few years back.
DH and I love to travel. I also love the land of the Mouse in FL. My first time there was in 1971 right after it opened and I was just a wee baby. DH had never been...ever.
One year DH and I decided we would visit the land of the Mouse. Better yet..we would fly there and stay in one of the Mouse's resorts.
Woohoo.....
However, we knew that SS was quite the little snitch and if we told the kids SS would spill his guts to Beaver. We also knew if Beaver found out she would tell the kids it would be boring, they would have no fun...and OMG the plane ride would be SCARYYYYYY... Cue the waters works and whining from SS.
I devised a plan for this. We originally thought about visiting the state of Wisconsin..but decided on the land of Mouse instead. We just continued to tell the kids we were going to Wisconsin. Oh boy was I right..SS went home...told Beaver, got his reward and then she started in. Wisconsin is boring (she has never been)....its cold up there (in August..not really)...you will have no fun. There are too many of you to go...blah, blah, blah. Consequently, SS came back and ***surprise** didn't want to go to Wisconsin, it wil be boring...yada, yada, yada.
We kept quiet for 6 months....the day we are to leaves comes. We have everyones luggage loaded and tell the kids Grandma (my mom) is going with us. We get in and take off....and drive to the airport. We stop, get the luggage out and I start handing out land of mouse luggage tags and say SURPRISE WE ARE GOING TO LAND OF MOUSE AND WE ARE FLYING. My kids are estatic...to say the least. SS..is all like..are we still going to Wisconsin...mm...no.
Get to our cabin and turn on our phones....oh boy VI is off is rocker again.
"How Dare you take the kids to where we honeymooned. YOu are a shit poor mother and your kids hate you. How dare you take DH to our honeymoon spot. (spoiler, we were not going to same place even if we were going to Wisconsin..not even close, the VI just "ass"umed)
I smiled..handed the kids my phone and said call your Dad and let him know where you are. BAWWHAHAHAHAHHAHAH...they prompty informed him they were in the land of mouse and went by airplane. Suck it VI...one of the best moments of my life.
DH hands SS his phone and says call your mom. SS calls mom and tells her No we are not in Wisconsin but rather in the land of the mouse and got there by airplane. Whew....you could hear the screeching all over the land of mouse. We promptly put both Vi and Beaver on silent and went about our 10 day vacation.
VI never mentioned it every again...narcissists HATE being wrong.. Beaver, however, filed to have the custody agreement changed so that she had our itinerary 30 days in advance. She was denied....and it was ordered that both DH and Beaver only had to send and itinerary as they were leaving. That was to prevent the bad mouthing of ones vacation plans by the other. LOL
That is how you piss off both of them with one vacation. ....Cost of land of mouse vacation about 7k....pissing off Beaver and VI at the same time...PRICELESS

Yeah, we didn't tell SS about
Yeah, we didn't tell SS about our wedding dinner (we "eloped" to a local park about 6 months before) until we pulled in our driveway and he saw his uncle's car and asked about it. He was a total snitch too.
Similar here....one SS would
Similar here....one SS would always call DH and say "what are we doing for X, Y, Z"...DH would tell him and then either a) BM would try to do whatever it was first; b) tell SSs how terrible it would be and then they wouldn't want to go.
BM would also pull this crap about itinerary, even though she only tells DH when she is taking SSs anywhere (including out of state) when it conflicts with DH's visitation (which it invariably does, because BM couldn't possibly plan her vacations to avoid the 4 days that DH has SSs).
I'll add, that I love that the VI thinks that you should somehow never go to your honeymoon destination ever again simply because you honeymooned there with him.
It is sickening that people
It is sickening that people actually live like beaver, VI, and so many other ex's.
We take skids on vacation every year. Twice in 2017. Last year we took a 4 night cruise with two overnights in Florida before we left for the cruise. I spilt all vacations with SO. When we were actually on the boat, BM texted them more those 4 days then she did I think in months prior. It was nonstop. The year before that she caused a huge deal our first day on vacation (fort lauderdale) because my email was STILL! On SDs school contacts. Blowing up all for of their phones. (When we had our falling out she called the schools like a psycho and got me deleted. She never called the elementary school so that was rolling over into the middle school for SD)
We had a 5 night cruise booked for this year and when SO Told her about it her response was: "did you guys win the lottery?!?!?!" No lady we save because we like to take trips. He told her when they were at meeting at school for SS16 and she apparently just stormed to her car. Pathetic LOL. Unfortunately, that is cancelled because of Covid.
We did this once with a day
We did this once with a day trip to an amusement park. We were afraid BM would come up with some BS excuse as to why they couldn't come for the weekend, or beg and plead to come with since she "never got to go anywhere". The boys had loads of fun, and we didn't hear any drama.
Though, I think if we ever do a week vacation with the boys, we'll have to follow the same tactic again. We had planned and booked a trip to Gatlinburg this summer (next week, actually) that we cancelled due to COVID. DH had told BM when we booked so that she didn't plan anything for the boys that week (they unofficially do week on/off in the summer). No qualms.
Well, at OSS's graduation, BM said that she was sad that they couldn't go anywhere this summer for a trip and maybe next summer they'd go to Gatlinburg. My eyes would have rolled right out of my head if I hadn't stopped them. The woman can't afford to buy her kids shoes, but she's going to have money for a trip to an expensive tourist trap? Mkay...
As an aside, I'm also a big Land of the Mouse fan. Went in January before COVID took off. We don't take the boys - our trips are adults-only and we stay in the nicer resorts by renting other people's DVC points. It's my happy place!
:) Dh is now a huge fan
the last trip we made to the land of mouse in FL..the kids were old enough to go out on their own. DH and I went to the world showcase and drank around the world. We had the best time and agreed being sans kids in the land of the mouse was one of the best times we have had.
We don't have anything in our
We don't have anything in our CO about travel with SS... If the military ever lets this dang travel ban up- something like this would be awesome! BM would be LIVID.
My exH and I keep each other in the loop if we are going out of state or traveling with the kids for more than a night. It is just common courtesy- but then again we actually respect each other as parents and aren't hung up on each other still or have any hatred towards each other. We just do the best we can for our kids and work together.
Ya know I wouldn't have any issues keeping
either one informed if they were normal humans..but they are not, so there ya go. My kids are now adults..so they deal with the VI..not me. He earned a place on my blocked list....the moment DD graduated high school.
I was fortunate enough to get
I was fortunate enough to get a semi free trip to DisneyWorld one time with my mom, so I took my birth kids and DH had to stay behind for work.
When we came back Spawn found out and ran home to tell Meth Mouth, for the next seven years that was thrown in our faces every time she took us back to court. It would always be one of her listed complaints against us that we denied Spawn a trip to DisneyWorld to spite Meth Mouth. DH would have to explain time and again how it went down, but she never let that one go.
To spite her
lol..and if you took them with it would have been you took them to spite her.
Always the same with these women..
Beaver about blew a gasket last year when we took SD to Hawaii....
We plan these trips to rub it in Beaver's face that she can't afford them. MMMKKYYY...yea righ there Beaver
Oh god yes and if we dared to
Oh god yes and if we dared to take Spawn on a plane with out letting Meth Mouth know we would have come home to the police and CPS on our doorstep. It really is the same they can't provide sh*t for their kids, but they sure will b*tch and moan when nobody else does.
Love it!!!
I think that is great!!!! And the perfect way to squash HCBM from ruining your trip.
I have planned all of our trips and I never share details with the Spawn. DH has the big mouth abs over shares which's bites him in the butt. That's on him. I told him to stop doing that.
I am an hour and a half from mouseland
And we are annual pass holders . It's fun
We are annual passholders out
We are annual passholders out here on the west coast, ever since they closed I've been missing it.
Oh we could be friends. I
Oh we could be friends. I have always wanted to do something like this since almost every vacation we have taken with skids has been ruined by BM....huge mouse lover here (but idiot DH won't go without kids because boo hooo his precious little fragile baby (teenagers) might get sad).....legit consider divorcing him over this....still might.
We literally just planned a vacation yesterday in August for all kids....mine, ours, his.....right now BM is on fire pissed at my DH for telling SD17 that he pays child support so she is pulling out all the stops for the last 2 weeks.....
DH was just about to text BM about our vacay plans when his phone buzzed and it was BM saying she is taking kids on vacay from 7/31-8/8.....he wrote back okay I am taking them on vacay 8/9-8/16....oh I know she was on FIRE!!!!
