For context, fiancee has 2 children (8M and 7M) and I have one child (9F). Mother’s Day is Sunday and it’s our weekend with all 3 kids, however, his custody paperwork states mom gets Mother’s Day. Sunday is also his transition day so they normally go to moms at 6p on Sunday, but per the paperwork she has the right to get them as early as she wants Sunday morning.
I was looking forward to seeing them briefly Sunday morning but then having alone time on Mother’s Day with my daughter. Things are A LOT more relaxing when it’s just her.
Just found out BM doesn’t want the boys until 5pm (so just an hour earlier) on Mother’s Day. That means we’ll have them all day. I am feeling a bit frustrated because I’m sure baby momma is seeing this as a chance to relax on Mother’s Day for her, but for me, it’ll make the entire day loud and chaotic.
I am thinking about asking my fiancee to plan an activity on Mother’s Day for his children to take the stress and chaos off me, and give me alone time with my daughter. I know she’ll want to celebrate me as we are super close and anytime my daughter says anything sweet like “you are the best mom ever” the boys have to comment like “no our mom is the best mom ever” which never bothers me and i typically reply “your mom is the best mom for you and i am the best mom for her” but honestly I don’t want to spend Mother’s Day hearing these comments, in addition to babysitting her kids.
So is it terrible to ask him to peace out for the day? He’d most likely take them to a park and to visit his own mom before taking them home.
