Does She Expect Him to Quit His Job???

BF works for a start up company. It is him and the owner and that's it. He has no vacation time, no sick time.. once in awhile he can get out an hour early on a Friday and that's about it. His Ex gets 6 weeks of vacation a year.

BF gets every other weekend, every other holiday, every other spring break and 2 weeks in the summer. This year the kids's (SS 7, SD 6) only had a Friday and Monday off for spring break. (too many snow days) I took those 2 days off from work to be home with them. (I get 4wk vacation) Apparently the Ex is throwing a fit because he never takes time off from work to stay with them. This is the same job he had for the whole 8 years they were together.. she knows how it is.

I don't understand what her issue is. She seems to just like to find SOMETHING to b!tch about.
We're dealing with PAS bigtime. She coddles the kids so much that they spend the weekend crying 'because mommy is home all alone and she misses us so much.' When BF asks them if they realize how much he misses them when he doesn't get to see them for 2 weeks they act like he's speaking Chinese or something.

Here's the deal...while married it didn't matter because she controlled all of his paycheck...now it matters because if she doesn't benefit financially 100%, then she'd rather he spend time w/the kids...that's just the way it is. My DH hardly spent anytime w/crazy witch and kid...after we got together, and I helped him find a job where he could spend more time w/kid, she wanted more money or for him to take kid at the drop of a hat...why? Because she didn't directly benefit from his new paycheck. These mothers are ruining their kids.

It is not strange that someone not be able to take off work to "stay home" with the kids! That is the way most jobs are!

She is just trying to PAS the kids and make her ex feel like crap.

And I agree with HWGA, BM was ok with it when it was money in her pocket....

A new wrinkle.... she was living with BF's 2 kids (SS7, SD6) in a 2 bedroom apartment. She also has a 13yo boy from a previous marriage. The 2 boys were sharing a room and SD6 was sharing a room with mommy. Both of BFs kids are cry babies... it's unbelievable how much they cry. It didn't help the SD6 is sharing a room with mom.

Well she moves them into a 3 bedroom apartment yesterday. Great we're thinking.. now SD6 doesn't have to sleep in mommy's room. WRONG. Each boy has their own room and mother and daughter are still sharing a room!!! I just don't get it. It's like she is emotionally crippling these kids for life. Neither one can make it through a weekend at our house without crying for her as it is!

Perhaps he should offer to take unpaid time off (even if it's not possible) but explain that he would have to deduct this amount from CS? lol

Seriously though - is it really legal to get NO holiday or sick time? I'm stunned!
