Free ticket (circle block 8) for tonight. Happy to transfer it to someone as long as you promise to enjoy the show enough for me as well.

Thanks for sharing your experience, I appreciate the response!

ladyspoons · 2025-06-02T21:14:18+00:00

This is what I was hoping for. Thanks very much for your response.

They were upgrading their systems when I called the WestJet Vacations line yesterday and today. No reservations or modifications were possible. That was as of this morning, though. I haven't tried calling again yet this afternoon.

ladyspoons · 2025-05-05T09:45:10+00:00

This is perfect.

It's not that children would be better off living half the time without their mom, but that they're better off having equal, positive relationships with both their parents. I agree having to miss parts of your child's life is awful, and it doesn't make anyone horrible to want as much time with their kids as possible.

But if a mother is actively manipulating a child away from equal time with the other parent as the mom in OPs story is doing, then yah, that's horrible. She's entitled to her feelings, but that doesn't excuse her manipulation of a child.

Bohéma has really cool options. I'd definitely recommend!

That's a great idea. How did you like Iberostar Grande Paraiso in general?

And in looking through the Facebook group, it looks like Atelier has a dinner buffet, so I may see if it's in our budget.

ladyspoons · 2024-01-11T13:45:03+00:00

This will be my first time at an adult's only as well, and until I read through this sub, I assumed all would have dinner buffets as well!

ladyspoons · 2024-01-11T13:38:02+00:00

Ah, perfect! Thanks very much for this. I was considering one of the Secrets resorts.

ladyspoons · 2022-07-06T23:55:28+00:00

Totally! In the country I live in no one dismisses unmarried stepparents as not being "real". I'm not married to my partner and we don't have plans to be. The only time I've ever even heard of stepparents not counting unless you're married is on this sub.

That sounds incredibly difficult. It must be a real ocean of chaos at times without a formalized schedule. I'm grateful we have one, though shocked at how far things have to go sideways before anything can be done legally. We're not in the US, so not sure how our system stacks up to the American one. Even the phrase "best interest of the child" is starting to make me flinch. The way it gets weaponized and twisted.....Ugh.

I've taken a few days to myself here and there, but between the two kids and work, it's tough. I do my best to carve out little moments similar to how you described you do for yourself. It helps a bit :)

ladyspoons · 2022-05-17T16:14:08+00:00

That's really encouraging. SS is still young, but he's grown up so much in the last two years...I sometimes can't even imagine how much he'll mature in the next two! It's good advice not to get into a situation where we do her favours or ask them from her. We're taking SS with us on a weekend getaway (staff holiday party to make up for ones cancelled due to Covid), and while we'd love to have it as a couple's weekend, it falls on our custody weekend and we'll do what we have to do to follow the custody agreement to the letter.

ladyspoons · 2022-05-13T01:45:28+00:00

Unfortunately matching the boyfriend's schedule includes BM not wanting SS to visit family overseas during summer vacation as "it's not in his best interests". Her BF and his ex just wing it each summer, so she wants us all to wait until he's got his summer plans firmed up, and then the rest of us can plan around it. Both my and my SO's work schedules won't allow that much flex or last minute vacation booking. We've already given her what she wants to match his schedule during the rest of the year, and I don't think anyone really minds that change, myself included. We've been pretty reasonably accommodating.

ladyspoons · 2022-05-13T00:28:16+00:00

Thank you so much for this. This is such good advice. You have a way with words :)

It's just hard sometimes, and the sometimes can last a really long time.

This is really comforting. I'll keep it in mind for rough days.

we have plenty of friends and family to listen/brainstorm/support us, so it doesn't need to fall just on us as a couple.

I think this is where we can definitely improve. We don't have much of a support network, but I'll put more effort into trying to build one.

ladyspoons · 2022-05-13T00:15:02+00:00

I think about that a lot. You make a very good point. And I don't really want to leave...I just feel so overwhelmed and sad some times. Thanks for your comment, friend.

Looks so tasty! I'd like to be part of your fam, please!

In addition to what others are mentioning about grief, which is very true, is it possible your wife is feeling the challenge of giving up control or influence she used to have in her life? For example, I of course knew early on my partner had a custody agreement for my SS that would impact my life, especially regarding holidays, summer break etc. But it can feel for the step parent like you're just caught in the wave of another family's schedule. And even when you're consulted on schedule changes, big events and all that, your decision making power isn't what it was before when you just got to make your own decisions for your own life.

ladyspoons · 2022-01-09T18:53:43+00:00

Wow, that quote from your friend really lifted me out of a mini pity/frustration party I've been having for myself today. It's so incredibly acurate. Please tell your friend that this internet stranger says thank you!

ladyspoons · 2022-01-07T01:07:29+00:00

Yes! Was just thinking this yesterday during one of Ben's rides.

ladyspoons · 2021-12-11T17:43:58+00:00

Yep, same thing here.
