about to blow a gasket...


kimberley wrote: you are probably going to think i am an overprotective freak after reading this.. but i need to get this out before i blow up! bawling.gif

my ex and his mom have been pushing for the boys to go to their cottage this week as they took holidays. after giving it much thought and consideration, i reluctantly agreed for them to go up yesterday and come back thursday night.
the doc's all gave their okay and friend's and family stressed how much fun they will have so i caved. the only thing i asked was that they call home a couple of times a day so i can hear for myself they are fine.

ex MIL picked them up at 5:45pm yesterday. i asked her to call when she got in so i know they arrived ok because there was a storm watch and she is a nervous driver. it takes about 2hrs. 8:30pm no call but i figured they might be eating. 10pm, i start calling.. no answer. it isn't until nearly midnight and messages from me and my dad's gf that she picks up.. sounds nervous, says she forgot to call and the boys were asleep. she was rambling about catching frogs. mmm hmm.. ok. so i ask to talk to the ex and he gives me a shoddy apology claiming he forgot then says they got in late. he also sounded nervous. when i probed for more details, he said he had to go. then i told him i want to talk to the boys when they get up in the morning and he agreed. it is now 11:56am and i have been calling for over an hour.. no answer.

why are they doing this to me??????? i don't know where the cottage is and my car would never make it anyway. i would never in a million years do this to him. they both knew i wasn't keen on the trip and you would think they would make the calls to ease my mind. instead they are dodging my calls and i am freaking out! this is NEVER going to happen again!!!!! bawling.gif bawling.gif

iluvmysweetiepies replied: I would be feaking out too. bawling.gif I can't believe they won't answer your calls! Maybe they are all out swimming or something? I bet they are all fine. wink.gif (((((((BIG HUGS))))))

I hope they call/answer soon. Let us know when you reach them. grouphug.gif

mammag replied: I'm sure they are fine.... sounds like it's just a case of two EXTREMELY rude people. I would be mad. I'd probably tell them that if you don't start getting the calls they promised you, you will not be inclined to ever do this again. That is so mean when they know you were worried.

And no, I don't think you are an overprotective freak in the least! grouphug.gif

mckayleesmom replied: mad.gif

Mommy2BAK replied: They sound like very rude people to me. mad.gif I can understand your concern, but I am sure they are just out playing or something.

MissyKay2005 replied: I am sure they are fine. I would be mad also if they didn't answer my call. Very rude! Hope you can talk to the boys soon!

Kaitlin'smom replied: ekk I would be freeked out as well, rude of them not to call.

jcc64 replied: I know how you feel. You just can't relax until you hear their voices, right? Dh probably just thinks you're hovering, but that's not his call to make. How hard is it to pick up the phone for a minute or two?! Try as best you can not to worry, I'm sure they really are busy having fun, but if they don't stick to the agreement, then I'd have no problem calling every hour on the hour until contact is made.

Insanemomof3 replied: Oh hon, that is TERRIBLE. mad.gif I am sure they are fine, but still they SHOULD call you. How inconsiderate. Hope you hear from them soon. grouphug.gif

luvbug00 replied: I would be furious and I would tell your ex and your MIL if they can't be conciderate enough to call you when you ask, then you can't be conciderate enough to let them take your children anywhere you can't reach them again!!!
It's rude and scary and i don't blame you a bit for being ticked! mad.gif I hope they call soon!

A&A'smommy replied: OMG I would be SOOO pissed!!!! Yeah I don't think they would be going with them again!! (((((HUGS))))

kimberley replied: bawling.gif bawling.gif bawling.gif well, i have officially lost it! still no answer at the cottage and my ex turned off his cell. i called the bar (ex and mom are part owners) because his mom usually works every monday and tuesday and their partner told me that she was supposed to be in this morning but called and said her grandson was very sick and she didn't know if she could come! OMG!!!!!!!!! why are they not calling ME?!?!?!?!? bawling.gif bawling.gif is my baby okay?!?!?!?!?! bawling.gif bawling.gif

i have called the local police up there who are going over to the cottage to check it out. as soon as i hear back, i am heading up there to get them. i have never in my life met such irresponsible idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mad.gif

Mommy2BAK replied: OMG Kimberley. I am so sorry. I cannot believe they are doing this to you. Like you said they are very irrisponsible. I wish there was something we could do for you. Please keep us updated!

booey2 replied: I am so sorry they are doing this to you. Hang in there. You definitely don't need this bs right now. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Kaitlin'smom replied: ohmy.gif OMG I hope that was just an excuse she made up. I hope you hear back soon. I am now worried for you/or with you. oh sheesh how horrible of them.

luvbug00 replied: Good for you calling the cops!! Prayers to you grouphug.gif Hang in there!!

Insanemomof3 replied: Oh Kimberley grouphug.gif that is terrible. Hope they come home to you ... SOON.

3'smom replied: i was gonna say call the local police. What inconsiderate ????? I hope you get in touch and I would pick them up and never let them go again. Make sure and document everything including the amount of calls you made and no answer.

Boys r us replied: OMG I would be so P*$$ED off right now!!!! I'm sorry Kimberly! Please let us know as soon as you're able to what in the world is going on!!

You know, your MIL probably just used your son as an excuse to call out..so TRY not to let what her work told you scare you too bad until you know more for sure what is going on!

chloe&tysmommy replied: Oh Kimberley grouphug.gif I am so sorry they did that...I would give them a major a$$ chewing!!!! What a bunch of idiots!!! ugh mad.gif mad.gif all they had to do was make a simple phone call and they can't even do that wacko.gif

Please let us know how everything goes...grouphug.gif

Jamielou replied: OMG, I would definitly be furious i would not let them have them again.... Its a simple request for them to let the kids call and let you talk to them....and they cant even do that for you.... mad.gif Its not like they have to go out of their way to do anything.... I would be so mad mad.gif mad.gif mad.gif

~Roo'sMama~ replied: grouphug.gif grouphug.gif I hope you find out what's going on soon!! I can't believe they are being so rude to you! dry.gif

ions_momma replied: OMG! I would be soooo mad a sooo nervous too! Why would they ignore your calls? That is just plain rude! mad.gif I hope everything is ok! Let us know how they are as soon as possible!

MommyToAshley replied: ohmy.gif OMG, I just logged on and had no idea you were going through all of this.

I can't even imagine how worried you are and how furious you must be. I hope you find out what is going on soon. It sounds like ex-MIL just made up an excuse not to go into work.... try to stay positive until you know what is going on. I know, easier said than done. I am glad you called the police, have you heard any news yet?

I will be saying a prayer that you have good news soon. Please keep us posted. grouphug.gif
