It sounds like you have a partner problem. If he doesn't back you up and actually expects you to bow down to a 9 year old and his former lover, there is no improving this situation. First off, if I were you, I would have never booked a hotel. You don't have the issue, your partner has the issue and if he wants to be controlled by BM then he needs to be the one to remove himself and his visiting child from the home. You are paying half the bills, as a contributing member of the household, do not allow yourself be displaced from your own home. I would start setting money aside for an apartment. I would leave this man if he refused to change and kept demanding his former lover and 9 year old have control over the entire household. You should not be cooking for his son, especially if it is causing issues. SS9's dad is more than capable of cooking for his own child. You should not be babysitting him. If your husband is not available to care for his own child then the child needs to be with his mom. You have a partner problem, not a SS9 and BM problem. 

DaniellaR is correct in everything she says but also your DH needs to grow a pair and stand up to the BM. BM is controlling your DH and your household.

It is ridiculous that your partner is going along with this.   Parents and step parents are allowed to occasionally get angry with their kids without a 9 yr old manipulating the situation with the aid of his mother and your partner just meekly going along with it and not having your back.  

This makes me so mad because it reminds me of all the years my DH didn't have my back - and which he now regrets (years after the events).   

Please do not agree to leave your own home again.  It is up to your DH and his ex to sort things out about his son visiting, but you should not take the fall for them being useless parents.  

Definite partner issue for sure. If he agrees with BM and ALLOWS her to dictate what happens in your home to the point that YOU need to leave sadly you need to reevaluate the relationship. 

What should have happened is your partner should have ignored BM's crazy request and continued to follow the CO. 

Instead he has negated your importance in not only his life but your SS's. This spells disaster. Now that BM knows she can call the shots, she will. And now that SS knows he can lie and get rid of you, he will. 

What a mess. 

You are not the problem. I know its easy to say leave the relationship but in this case if I were you I would have a serious come to Jesus moment with your partner. Either you and your Relationship are first or you are out. 

Uh, no way would I leave my home. SS and BM do not get to dictate what happens in your home. SS should come for his regular time, with you there. SO should not be allowing BM or SS to manipulate what happens in YOUR home. As a matter of fact, he doesn't even need to be discussing this with BM. You should both discuss with SS that he is the child in your home and does not dictate the rules nor make demands on who can or can not be in the home. JHC- I feel sorry for this kid when he realizes that the world does not revolve around his wants and desires. Of course, BM and SO are to blame for this BS. A child will always push the boundary if allowed.

Where are your SO's balls?  No, BM can't withhold visitation and cannot dictate that you leave YOUR home in order for a 9yo POS crotch nugget to visit.

SO needs to nail BM to the wall in court with a contempt motion any time BM fails to deliver SS per the visitaiton schedule.

This is crap and BM and this idiot kid both need a Judge to smack them around in court.

Grrrrrr!

One thing...

This kid needs boundaries.

If my partners ex could control us like that she would jump at the chance, any boundarliesss ex would. They lost control when they left him, and think that because they birthed his child they should truly always have it, and sadly, he's giving it to her. 

The reason my partners ex can't control our lives like that is because he has never let her. He would call the police for her not giving him over on his time before he would allow her to control our lives to that extent. And she knows that. He has always stood up for my place in his life and my SS3 is life. It's a little different because my SS doesn't complain about me. Your SS is showing signs of being just as boundarliess as his mother, and is also searching to control. That's where his eating issues are coming from too, his need to control.

Your partner needs to stand up to her, and the child needs to be put in therapy for his control issues. 

Check out this website on helping a picky eater, it's a control game, and here's how you win by not playing.https://yourkidstable.com

I did this for our boy and within 2 weeks he was better, and has stopped the control game. 

She cannot refuse to send BS to his visitation. The solution, you stay in your home and your partner continues to pick his son up. If she wants to stop visitation then she will have to file for a change in the custody order. Otherwise when she refuses to send him she is in violation of the custody agreement and you guys take her to court. No judge will be happy to hear that a mother is refusing visitation and she will have to provide some kind of proof that he is in danger- not just that he got yelled at.

If i had been made to by hubby or it was even suggested i stay in a hotel so his kids with ex could come over, i’d actually be livid and suggest we end our marriage. 

As a parent that child should have respected and ate dinner that was prepped by his parent, not be a disrespectful rude little shit. His dad might not want the drama but you told that child to eat just like you would your own kids (thats your house rule) and he must respect the house ruled you have. 

Your hubby is in the tough place being in the middle and i get its tough but basically makig your wife/partner stay in a hotel is so disrespectful because you’re kicking her out of her home, what should be her safe place and further teaching this kid he can be even more ruder and disrespectful and if all else fails, run back to bio mum and make accusations and allegations etc and she threatens no visit unless you’re gone, the bio mum has no right to control you, your house rules and that is what she is doing. Put her and your stepkid in their respectful places

You should have never submitted to the disgustingly intrusive, dictatorial demand from your husband’s former lover. You are a grown a** woman. You have worked hard in your life to be able to afford a home and map out a future and you should not be giving your husband’s ex the power to tarnish the flow of your life just because they created a manipulative, whiny brat. Your husband ought to be ashamed for having his wife, through better or worse, leave the comfort and safety of her home so that his ex could have things her way on a silver platter. I’m disgusted and embarrassed for you. It would be a permanent, irreparable loss of respect and trust for me when it came to a “man” like that. 

Put your foot down and tell him you refuse to be kicked out of your home at the wishes of his ex. The bitch was probably gloating at the results. Despicable. 

BM can’t just keep ss because he says something happened. There are COs for a reason but if DH wants to be a pansy then use his credit card and book yourself a spa weekend. If BM still wants to be stupid and let ss control the situation, then I like the idea of DH and ss booking a hotel some where. DH is going to get tired of having to pay for a hotel. You need to stand your ground on this one or else you are going to be pushed around by BM and ss.

Manipulative, controlling BM and weak, enabling DH = step hell.  Unless either you or your DH grow a pair, and ideally the both of you, this will not only be your present, but also your future.  The only way to even remotely control a rapid dog is to put a muzzle on it vs. showing fear and trying to make nice with it or trying to outrun it.

I would never leave my house. If the issue was pushed and my DH was asking me to leave the house so his kids could come over....the relationship would be over right then and there. No way am I letting an ex and a 9 year old tell me what to do.

I dealt with this in the begining stages of my relationship..they weren't offically divorced yet....BM FORBID the kids to be around me and DH complied for about 6 months while the divorce agreement was being hashed out in court. DH and I lived together so he would go stay at his moms with the kids.....I always thought it was odd but whatever I dealt with it.

THEN....in the divorce agreement ,as another way to keep me away from the kids...BM put in there that the kids could not sleep over night in a home with a person of the opposite sex while with either parent until the kids were 18...unless it was a spouse. How laughable and insane. But DH complied.....so he would take the kids each night around 9 pm and they would all go sleep at his moms and come back the next morning.

So about a month after the divorce was final we got married....so I guess that didn't work out all to well for BM. But she is stuck with that clause for about 7 more years. hahahahahahaha
