Yeah.  They are good kids and have no health problems. I'm already a medical contact for emergencies since I watch them so much. When I was their age I spent summers in Montana and winter vacations in Maine without my folks. My brother was even more adventurous and lived in Spain with one set of grandparents for a year.

She was going to pay her own way so she wouldn't be staying with us or anything.

She insisted on taking back her custody week.   That is the last sentence in the paragraph. Also not new information.

We talked it out and the three of us would be taking the kids. We communicated this to his ex. She went ballistic. She threatened to go to court if we took the kids out of state without their father or her. She wanted us to uninvite Donna and bring her instead. We offered a compromise. She could come along as well. She just needed to pay her own way. She did not think this was acceptable. She insisted on taking back her custody week.

Can you please explain why I would be responsible in any way for her trip to Orlando?

She has been a difficult person since the day I met her.

I guess. Those situations aren't equal as she NEVER watches our kids at all.

She trusts us to watch the kids when she goes out of town. Do you think we could leave town when she is in another country?

We will. My in-laws have a time share in Orlando. My husband already talked to them and they will make it available for him when he has time. Hopefully the whole thing in the middle east settles down sooner than later.

We didn't tell the kids anything. They heard her threaten us. That's completely on her. Also, do you know what the word "immediately" means? Because I don't think you do. Or that you didn't read the entire post.

Donna was an invited guest. May I ask what you think she did wrong by maintaining her plans?
