[QUOTE="Shari, post: 420398, member: 1848"] Normally, Andy, I'd say the same thing about getting her to the concert while she's here. There's no reason I can't. But mom, who wanted me to butt out, should have known about the concert, and mom specifically knew we were going camping this weekend and specifically made arrangements for cgfg to go with us. Now I also happen to know that her mom's hubby has his kids Easter weekend instead of this weekend...and she doesn't want cgfg around one weekend and the steps the next...kills her free time (this is not speculation - she has stated this to me). So I am 99.9% sure the motivation for asking if cgfg could go with us was to have all the kids at the same time (because a couple days later, we asked to swap weekends again so cgfg could be here April 30 and her mom literally blew a gasket at the request...."what do you think? you can just have her for every fun thing you want??? And she can just come and go as you/she pleases?" (uh, yeah, as parents, that's the way it should be....but I digress)) But that's not the point. She asked for cgfg to be able to go camping with us, and we made arrangements for that to happen. The old me would drive her back for the concert. The new me says its on mama. Her problem cgfg isn't going to be there. The sad me knows none of it will matter in the end. (And you're dead-on, Andy. Why wouldn't you enjoy time alone with her? I'm her STEP MOM and I enjoy the very rare outing I get to have with just her. I'd love to have more opportunities for that to happen.) [/QUOTE]
