I.AM.FED.UP.
So, as you know, we are going to Disney in a few weeks. This is our first real vacation. Yes, we do things on weekends but generally they are cheap, free, with friends, family, and local. Disney is our first time away for more than one night that doesn't involve our dog or either side of our families.
We have been saving for this vacation since March of last year, with our wedding money, Avon money, birthday money and any other random money that we have. We're also doing this trip on a budget. But the point being...this is our honeymoon.
Now, as some of you may also know, Danny has a six year old son. A few weeks ago I received this ominous voicemail from him. "Hi when I come down over the summer, can you take me to Disney.....don't tell my Dad."
Well, that's weird. I didn't tell him about Disney, and I know Danny didn't tell him about Disney. Who's left? OH! His mom! What person in their right mind says "Daddy is going to Disney without you, call Nicole and tell her you want to go....make sure you say "don't tell my Dad." Or atleast that's how I envision it going, and I don't see that being so far from the truth.
I got over that. Whatever. He's a kid, of course he wants to go to Disney. Me and Danny talked about it...it's our first time away together, we're going to take him next time. And over the summer we're going to take him to Busch Gardens.
So, last night I posted some exciting Disney stuff on Danny's Facebook wall while he was at work. Funny, the second I did that...apparently she started texting him about Kaleb wanting to go to Disney. She also claims that this is her first time "hearing about our trip." Um, so the first time Kaleb just happened to find out?
She also says that we shouldn't be taking our honeymoon, we have every other weekend to do that and we should be taking Kaleb. She is also saying that she will be taking Kaleb this summer...and that now he can't come down here.
Okay, I consider myself a fairly even tempered person, but seriously....this pissed me off. Who is she to say what we do with our money? Danny fully supports Kaleb (as she doesn't have a job and 3 other children.) There will be other vacations for us to take Kaleb on, but for now this is our vacation.
Here's my real issue with all of this. She loves to tell people we are "good friends." She would never actually say any of this stuff to me...just Danny. I honestly have no problem with her, we get along, we share tips with each other, text randomly...whatever, I have no problems. I'm convinced she does this to cause problems with me and Danny. And it's really starting to get to me.
I love spending time with Kaleb. But since we live in different states, of course it makes it hard. Last year we were able to spend the entire month of June with him (if you followed that "series" on here...you know we did A TON!) and Thanksgiving in Ohio. This year we planned to have him the entire summer, vacations to VA, Boston, and Maine. I think we're doing a pretty good job at this co-parenting thing. But maybe I'm just delusional.
Am I being irrational? Total unfair to all parties involved? Is it fair to say that every time we travel I'm going to feel like this?
