((((((((((((((((((kd))))))))))))))) I'm so sorry he sprang that on you like that. I understand your wanting him to have the trip but I agree, the timing stinks! I wish he would reconsider. Can you limit daughter's time there for the week? Maybe tell her you want to see her, but do not come before noon, or better yet, tell her that during the time little man is in school is your time and as much as you love her, you NEED that time. Be firm about it. I understand though, it's hard. I'm here.
