And what does DH say to SS13 when he asks if he can skip a week with BM so he can attend day camp?

Why, DH says, "You'll have to ask your mom." Then he back peddles a little bit and says, "I don't know, that's probably cause problems, .... but go ahead and ask her and see what she says."

This is why the kid thinks he rules the world. This is his FIRST summer where he is spending time with BM on a two week on/off schedule. This will be the most consecutive time the boy has been in her care - ever. (NOt to mention I am counting the days till he starts this summer schedule).

So I just throw in there, "well, it'll also depend on if your grades came up because if not, you'll be in tutoring and you'll need to get yourself up to grade level before you get to go have fun at camp."

This conversation took place after an earlier one where DH was telling SS that he can invite his friends over during summer. Um, hello! I'm the one that will be home, on maternity leave and/or with my newborn and my own three children. I REALLY don't want DH making SS think that I'm going to be having his little buddies over.

But guess what... even if BM says, "sure" which I'm sure she'd be happy to get out of some of this time she's been granted, I think that camp will just happen to be full by that time.
