Please help me with my PITA XH
Luckily with him living 1000 miles away I rarely have to deal with him. But my son is going up there for the summer, and I need to know the freaking dates already! He LOVES to wait until the last minute. When my son when up there for spring break he literally waited until 2 days before to book it and then started bitching because it was too expensive and tried to back out.
My son keeps asking "what day am I going?" "what time", etc. If he's not going the day after school gets out I need to know so I can make arrangements. Plus I'm skeptical in general and afraid he's going to back out. I was waiting to book my vacation flight but it's in June so I just went ahead and booked it.
Any advice on how I can get him to book it? I've already tried telling him that if he waits the price is going to go up. I've told him my son keeps asking me. He keeps saying "I'll do it today", then it's "I'll do it this week" and this week comes and goes. The latest is "I'll do it by Friday"

Unfortunately, you can't make him do anything. It would be a pain, but you could go back to court and have a notice provision added to your visitation schedule saying something such as he has to provide you with a minimum of 30 days notice or his visitation is cancelled.
My ex is a PITA too and we have notice provisions built into our visitation schedule...even though our schedule right now is only temporary, we still needed them.
Sorry you're having to deal with this! I know how frustrating it is!
You might try posting on thenest blended families board. Many of them have a date that vacations must be agreed to written in their CO. For example, 30 days for a regular vacation, summer plans by mid-Feb.
