No Win Situation

My son has or had a busier social life than me this week, he had a party Tuesday, one Friday and one Sunday as well as a day out on Saturday.

I didn't take him to the Tuesday or Friday parties as I was at work but I did take him out the Saturday and to the party on the Sunday.

What is it with the gf. She moans when I don't do things with my son, then when I do, she moans because I did something wrong or I didn't dress him correctly or I didn't give him the right lunch.

I knew she would be working, so I asked a friend what he was doing at the weekend and he told me nothing so we arranged to take my son and his to the local castle, we also took another boy.

So Saturday morning I get up and sort myself out and my son as she has now gone to work and we set off. We had a great day, exploring the tunnels and all over the castle. My son loved being out with his friends and exploring anything and everything he could with his mates, I let the leash off a bit so he could run a bit wild and also to tire him out, which worked a treat.

So we get home and I take my son to go and pick the gf up and she looks at what I had put on him and she tells me that is what he wore yesterday, I told her that I knew this and I also knew he was going to get dirty playing anyway, so she brought this, then she asked what I had given him for lunch and when i told her, she moaned and how many drinks he had, it was only 2 fruit shoots, the boy can drink lots when he is playing and he doesn't have these often so I just nodded.

On Sunday I took it slowly to get ready to go out as the party wasn't till 2pm and I didn't want my son getting to tired out before it otherwise he gets the tired strop on. I told him to go for a snooze about 11 as he was still tired from the Weeks fun he has been having, but did he sleep, nope,not at all. I heard him playing, singing and the the "I've had my snooze now" this was an hour after going up, so I told him to just stay in his room, which he did. We finally get ready for the party and we set off after I remember to wrap the present, write the card and make sure he has his inhaler.
We get to the party and all his friends are there and tearing round the place and it hadn't even started yet, so they all line up and the party leader takes them in to the hall, as this happens my phone starts to ring and it my mum, so I keep an eye on what door they have gone through and make my way outside so I can talk to my mum. We say the pleasantries and she reminds me that we are meeting for dinner Saturday night, which I say yes is still on, the she throws in

"remember when we were discussing this last time and I said I might need to stay over"
"yeeees"
"Were you just saying that or did you mean it"
"I meant it of course, if you want to stay I'm more than happy"
"Oh great, it will probably Friday and Saturday night but maybe also Sunday"
"No problems" I say, which really was the beginning of them, so we say bye and I text the gf and let her know. When she got the text she thought I was joking then when I wasn't she seemed fine with it, until of course that was until I got in and the she moans that I should have asked her first, who's going to do all the cleaning blah blah blah. So we have a little barny about it but get over it. My mum will be coming over Friday as she is judging a horse jumping competition somewhere, horses bore me so if she told me I must have switched off. I told my son about Gran ma coning to stay and he is so excited, fingers crossed the weekend goes smoothly and that my mum would like takeaway everynight as I have no idea what I would cook for her.
