Did you really have to go there????? You must be one of those BM's that are extremely jealous of the SM and the relationship she has with your kids.
His girls are the center of my universe. I would NEVER do anything to hurt them. She's never had a problem with any other vacation we have ever taken and I didn't see this one as being a problem, either. She's always been more than happy for us to take them off of her hands for weeks at a time, as long as the check made it to her mailbox when we had them.
We took a cruise for our anniversay (no children went) and caught hell from her that her girls didn't get to go. Said we had denied them of their ONLY opportunity to see the ocean. I told her we would take a family cruise in the future and her girls would be included. She told me, "You better f***ing see to it that they are!"
But, here's the deal. When I started school, I promised the children a really special vacation (of their choosing) when I graduated. I don't take back promises. They chose a Disney cruise and a Disney cruise is what they'll get. Since the cruise has been booked during one of his CO weeks of time, he is more than willing to take it back to court. Could be wrong, but I don't see him being denied the right to take them on a Disney cruise.
Bottom line, she's pissed that we are no longer broke. She's already tried for an increase in CS based off of my income. She's even more pissed that the girls are really enjoying coming to Daddy's house now that we can afford to actually leave it during the visits. They used to want to go home early, but are now asking to stay longer. For years, she has taken advantage of the fact that he couldn't afford to do fun things with them (i.e. Daddy's useless because he can't take you to Chucky Cheese like Mommy can). She has been so vicious that I considered dropping out of school to work FT, so that we could afford to do these things with them because they were buying into what she had to say. But, I'm glad that I hung in there. I'm glad that he learned how to parent without spoiling. In the long run, I think his style is going to be better for the girls.
One more thing! I'm not a spiteful SM. I keep my conversations about their mom on a real positive note when I am talking to the girls. Sometimes, it's really hard to find something nice to say about her (you'd have to know the history), but I always do. As a BM, I give my kids' SM the respect that she has earned/deserves.
