Her uncle passed away, from what I understood they were not close anyways but she is very dramatic and of course crying on the phone..and her son got hurt as well at school playing. I understand that everything happening at once became overwhelming for her. She asked him for help to take his son for the week-end, not a problem, we changed our already made plans. Then asked for Mon and Tue as well, as the funeral is Tues. She's not taking him to the funeral but she does not think he should go to school. Usually I offer to take him myself as his father does work full time, but latley his son doesn't like me much as I don't tolerate him being bold or disrespectful. She asked the father if there were other family members that could watch him for the two days but everyone else is busy, but not once mentioned me.I didn't volunteer, but I wouldn't deny. She phoned back crying and said forget it if you don't want your son I found a friend who will take him, forget the weekend, hung up.

The son is 7 years old, very smart for his age and tends to play manipulative games between the parents.

He is usually disrespectful towards me and at most ignores the fact that i am here. Doesn't like what I make for meals and throws tantrums until he gets what he want. Can be very stressful as I know I am a good cook, doesn't try anything, just says he doesn't like it

The uncle was in a home for the last 10 years and she may have seen him 3 times. No real reason to be so over dramatic, as there obviously wasn't a close bond there

Sounds like the Ex is under a lot of emotional stress - let it go for now. Perhaps this conversation can be discussed at a less stressful time. When children are involve it's better to try to get along.

It sounds like she is just trying to disrupt your life with your b/f because she is jealous of the bond you two have. Sit your b/f down and talk to him and see if he can get her to back off or at least acknowledge that you're a part of his life and that won't change. I went through the same thing with my husband's ex, she was constantly phoning saying I'm on welfare and you're not help me give me money but in your case she's using her son against you which isn't right.
