I agree with sofaraway's comment. I tried to reason with my STBXW about taking my son to his Little League teams' trip to a Met game...to no avail. I didn't lose my temper or chew her out...but...now she is asking for time for her cousin's BD party on my day with the kids.

Hmmmm....

I would try and tell her that doing it again is unacceptable and it cannot happen again with her having to take acountability.
