[quote=Anonymous]My son's dad/ex husband has 50% shared custody. However, in the 2.5 years since we separated (and eventually divorced), he has given me DS every 3-day weekend, and about twice or more a month has obligations last minute that make him ask me to watch DS. It always ends up with him throwing a tantrum basically if I say no, sometimes it's been a two week "work" trip. I have no way of verifying any of this info, nor a way to trust him.

Anyway, my thought process is, unless I'm out of town, to take DS because I worry he'd leave him with someone untrustworthy or worse, take it out on him that he couldn't go do whatever it is he wanted to do.

But, I also feel like a total pushover. He never helps me when I need it. Can never watch him when I ask. Etc. Now, what do you do? How do you reconcile these things? I've had to lose money on events I booked  because he "had to be out of town" and I had to get DS, etc. It's getting exhausting. And he just emailed asking I basically take DS again for Labor Day (shocker!) and for rest of the week. His excuse is always work.

We have no family around. [/quote]
