This is something specail to me, so why am I getting a bunch of **** over it? Ok, I want Holly to be at the hosptail the day the baby is born, not during labor but afterwards. I want the whole family there (Baby, me, hubby & Holly) Is that soemthing so hard to ask for? I said something to Deanna (Holly's step-mom) to get her input on it (if I pop on her weekend) and she says that she doesn't understand why holly needs to be there since she wasn't there when Katie was born. True! Holly didn't go the Witham to see Katie when she was born.. did hubby get a phone call asking for him to bring Holly there or even a call saying that Deanna had Katie?? NO! Nothing, we didn't know she had Katie until the day Deanna came home from the hosptail. But Deanna says that they shouldn't of had to ask, this may be true, but again how was hubby to know that katie was born? If someone would of asked, we would of brought Holly to Witham.
We are asking to get Holly for 2hrs on Sat. or 2hrs early Sun.

Me and 'hubby' are Holly's custodal parents, Deanna is Holly's mom. Hubby has sole custody over Holly to begain with. I know I'm the step-mom, but I get along better with Deanna than what hubby dose. This isn't about a visitation time/day, just a speacail request from one mom to another. Hubby is involed with the whole thang, don't get that wrong, but I've been the middle person for 3.5 yrs now and Holly turns 4 this year. (That's just how it works out here)

I suppose that if that's the visitation arrangement then she may be legally entitled to do it her way, but it's not very nice. Maybe you could get your doctor to induce you during a time when you have custody to ensure she'll be able to visit at the hospital. And in all reality, you should not be dealing with Deanna, but with your ex-husband. Deanna is just the stepmom, she does not have a custody agreement, you and your exhusband do so it is up to the two of you to make variations in the schedule, not her.

What youre asking sounds reasonable to me. I'm guessing this lady is just trying to be a sh*t.

Well since she is the Mom maybe you can ask her to trade weekends.
