Sorry about the slow reply...I just had a problem with my daughter that had to come before this board or work...Do you get how my priorities are stacked? I used to work way to much...one of my biggest 180's was working less. The payoff came about a year later when my son looked at me and said "Dad I love that you spend all your time with us. It is a lot more fun with you around". A perfect example that DB'ing is about more than saving your marriage.
Reply to her email keep it short and easy.
Example-Thanks for the information on the kids schedule. I would like to see them on the two evenings before/after practice, so tell me when and where to meet you. I am busy Friday, but let's plan on me joining them for Lunch.
The end twist to lunch is that you are going to find a way to get the whole afternoon off to spend with the kids. NOTE-THIS IS NOT FOR YOUR WIFE...THIS IS FOR YOUR KIDS. Show them that they are a priority. You will be amazed in how kids will react to becoming a priority...the better part is how much YOU will gain out of making them a priority.
