[quote=Anonymous]I took on the scheduling when I went to college. Generally, Mom bought my plane tickets, or Dad would fly out and drive home with me (and reverse after the break). Mom would announce her Thanksgiving dinner time, Dad would announce his, and I would plan my day. My parents lived about 10 minutes from each other, and I usually slept at mom’s house.

As a young adult (I moved back to DC after college), I would do the same thing. Once I had kids, everyone came to my house because it was easier than transporting kids around the beltway.

My husband has kids from his first marriage and has an amicable relationship with their mom. Kids are 22 and 24. He still calls their mom to figure out the plan, instead of asking the kids themselves. Which means if I ask the kids directly, they don’t know either because they are waiting for mom and dad to figure it out.

I get a little irritated at him because I never know how many people to plan for until the day before, because my husband waits until the last minute to make this call. This is squarely a husband problem, not a kids problem or an ex wife problem.

I probably need to call her directly and get things in order so we can both plan, but I also want him to carry his own share of the mental load (and frankly, she probably does too), so here we are.[/quote]
