Hey dday! Welcome to the jungle! I was joking with my Thursday night group last night and telling them your word....condolations. That was really good!
Yep, sometimes I even surprise myself with my own whit.
To answer your question: He should know it is his day and you should not have to "remind" him. I'm still not up to the particulars of your situation, but he sure sounds like my XW who certainly did look into the parperwork she signed other than for only where money was concerned. He should know his right to the day and should be jumping at it on his own.
You could play on it a bit and do as suggested tho, make plans for the day and call him and ask when he's picking his son up as you're going out, it's "your day" anyway. Although holiday visitation hours pretty much dictate the pick up time.
I do not understand at all the games they play with how 'wonderful' OP is. At least in my case, it's the other way around, I get or do whatever I can for my boys. XW and OM on the other hand seem to enjoy floating through life living in a provided home, no utility bills and not going to work half the time. Must be nice.
