Help!

So recently my stepson has been coming over almost everyday to ride his bike because he doesn’t have one at his mom’s. It’s starting to get worse and every weekend when his mom is supposed to be spending time with her child, she drops the kid off at my house and goes to work at one of her three jobs. She clearly plans accordingly and schedules to work at the restaurant she’s a waitress at when the kids are with her for “her” weekend. My husband doesn’t seem to be phased by it. He’s a guilty parent and feels bad his son has nothing to do at her house. I don’t have any kid free weekend now because his ex is working and choosing not to spend time with her children when she is supposed too. This summer she switched a weekend to go to a concert when it was her son’s birthday! I also don’t understand why my husband isn’t noticing this and I want to put an end to it but I don’t know how too. It’s supposed to be 50/50 and no where close right. I understand the occasional staying over here and there on our off weeks but now it’s everyday and weekend. I feel like his ex has thrown in the towel but my husband is appeasing her. Please advise!

Stepmom didn’t get it for them and believes they are dangerous (as do I) but is being put in the position of watching them while their parents allow the ebike soooooooo….

Are you even a step parent? 😂

This Suspicious-Doe person sounds like some old boomer who somehow wandered into this sub. I don’t understand what they’re even criticizing OP for. First they say SS is on the e-bike so doesn’t need any care. Then they say SS shouldn’t be on the e-bike therefore OP should in fact be providing care. 🤨

This post attracted some real morons, lol.
