How do you cope with a control freak BM?

I was just wondering how others handle a BM that likes to incert herself into places she doesnt always belong. With EOW custody I just always assumed that we would handle things on our week, scheduling wise.

We have no issues telling BM no or back off, I just find it odd at times.

The most recent example being today. Ss9 has an important doc appt. She started by insisting that she was taking him even though it's our week and DH should also go either way. DH said he was going so she agreed to meet him there. She then announced that her new boyfriend was going (insert lie as to why he needed to go here) and DH said okay but be stays in waiting room like I always do. To which she explained how she made plans for her mom to watch ss7 so that I could go. Um I was never planning on going! I was planning to stay home with Ss7 because it's our week and if I were going am I wrong to assume that it would have fallen on us to find a sitter not her?

Plus DH over heard her on the phone once talking to someone about coming over and BM told said person that her parents would watch the boys when they came over, only it was our weekend. Apparently she doesn't tell people that she is divorced and only has her kids EOW.

Weird.

I love this, I am so going to remember that next time. I think just a 'no' will drive her more nuts than a logical explanation.
