Who is this person?

[Day by Day]

I need advice! Here's my turn around...

I don't know what to do about H sending me an angry email.

This wknd is his with the kids. Halloween. He's never taken them trick-or-treating or to any events, so the kids were upset to have to spend it with him. Without me knowing, the kids made their own plans to spend the evening with their friends.

Here's what he wrote:
I see now that my time with my kids is optional. There always will be a good excuse for me not to be able to see them.

Funny. I guess now I really understand why there are laws to protect Dad's rights -in exchange for Dad's commitment to supporting the family- to see them during the weekends, regardless of excuses or plans made by kids.

As I told S, this weekend my time has now been reduced to Sunday, from 12 noon to 5 pm....to acommodate their schedules. Hope D is back from her sleep over in time so I can pick her up in (town).

I had nothing to do with these plans. I wasn't home when they spoke with him and "notified" him of their plans.

Advice please? I don't want to make things worse and isn't it his responsiblity to tell them if it is okay? The kids don't want to miss out on their fun.
