I am married to a wonderful man who has a wonderful 6 yr old boy and has a SELFISH "ex-wife". For the most part, the relationship with her is amicable and she doesn't cause many problems. We have the child every other week and we split the costs right down the middle. The problem is that quite often, she will ask us to take him for a few days when she has him. We always say we will, but we do it for the child, not for her. But when we ask to take him when we need someone to watch him on our week (which isn't often - like family emergencies, funeral, etc.), she NEVER does. It almost seems like she is "putting in" her time with her child. It's almost like she doesn't want to put any more time in with him, but then will give up time to be with her own child for her job or her boyfriend or her boyfriend's kid. My issue is that my husband will always say "yes" so we get to see the child more, but I'm getting frustrated, because she doesn't ever help us out when we need it. I am at the point now where I feel she is taking advantage of us, as she knows we will not say "no". How do we handle this situation? ↓
