Stand up and go for it...

This morning dh texts ss 12 that he is on his way, for contact as usual 

Ss texts back I'm going on holiday dad, didn't I tell you?

So ensues this very uncomfortable text ping pong , in-between dh calls to me upstairs ... no you haven't been told, I can assure you. I monitor bms emails and ss messages myself. They both love to brag about their plans all the way to end of 2023, this holiday was NEVER mentioned. 

Add to this that it is our dd 7th birthday party next Sunday and only this week dh was discussing with ss that he'd ask his mother to bring him and we'd take home etc. So If this holiday was ever even discussed face to face one of their memories would have definitely been jogged !

No, this is absolutely a last minute one and bm doesn't give a flying hoot what dh thinks with poor ss stuck in middle, again. 

Except this time it's backfired one too many times. Dh realises that not only did he miss out On fathers day to ss rather than bm asking if he could renage, putting dh in middle again. Ss will now miss his sisters bday, and the next thing will be the plans will be changed for ss turning 13, due On dhs contact time...

I asked dh If he wants my help to comprise an email, but no, thank the gods, he said forget that hes consulting a solicitor first thing Tuesday. 

For a guy with no back bone I'm both proud and sad for him and dd

It must be such a relief that he's taken it upon himself to contact a solicitor and seek further advise. From someone that is forever composing messages to send between DH and Ss, BM. I would appreciate this. 

It is clearly done out of spite and wasn't consulted. I trust a woman's memory. We can remember everything a man's forgotten down to the date and time! But all jokes aside you should be proud of him (you've not had to get involved and if its anything like myself you're not the bad guy for once . Double celebration!)
