H has again asked me to cover part of his parenting time in February due to a work travel conflict. Keep in mind our current agreement is to split the kids 50/50. I have agreed to take the kids again so that he may travel but in the same email I also sent this.
H - When you choose to travel during your parenting time, which causes significant absences from our kids' lives, I know with absolute certainty this hurts our children. Do you realize that by my count in the month of February you will only be seeing the kids 9 out of the 28 days? I know events in the future will come up and we will need to be flexible, but I want to ensure that we both continue to have equal and frequent time with our kids. How can we best achieve this?
He replied with I will call you this afternoon.
I know that I didn't set a boundary with my email but rather drew his attention to the fact he is significantly limiting his time with the kids.
Now I need to prepare myself for this call. I am not sure what he is going to say.
