My ex-husband had planned a trip with his girlfriend and her daughters, and our 14 year old son for this weekend. Problem is it's my weekend for visitation with our son, so they cancelled their trip (long story short, ex-husband makes me stick to the paperwork when it favors him, but when it comes to my time with my son, he expects me to "work" with him when he "accidentally" plans things during my time. This is the only 3-day weekend left in the year, and I don't have anymore vacation...so I stuck to the paperwork on this one). I plan to spend all day today with my son, but my husband and I are going on a date tonight with another couple. I suddenly feel guilty about this...like, since I was the cause of the vacation cancellation that I have no business letting any time with my son go by without me being in it. That it should be constant fun and activities for him now to make up for the loss of not going on the trip with his Dad. Should I cancel the date night? And, while we're at it, am I a bad person for sticking to the paperwork?? I know, two questions, but I'm struggling with some guilt at 7:42am (haven't had coffee yet, either...:)
