Thanks guys--I was in an online class all afternoon so I was just peeking in once in awhile for feedback. Now it's over--yay! Until tomorrow--boo!
Anyway Kerry I hear you say that you guys don't text, well for Dan and I it is safer for me to text or email for a few reasons. One, emotionally I can be a little more detached in writing than in person. Sometimes in person I forget what I am trying to say, or he pushes buttons and I get uncomfortable and lose track of what I meant,etc.
Also doing it in writing means I have a record of our communications. You never know when I may need that. For example him saying it is typical for me to 'pull this stuff' and making it sound like I don't let him see the kids. I have the records of all the times he has wanted a change and I have worked with him and been flexible...
So I am heading down to the home computer (on school laptop now) to print off our visitation schedule for the next two months (June/July)...these calendars are pre-highlighted thanks to Outlook, re. who has the kids which days. But I also went in back in May and typed in all relevant events that I knew of--baseball games, vacations, birthdays, holidays, classes, meetings, etc.
I will print a copy for Dan and one for me to keep out. I transferred some to my kitchen calendar, but not all. Anyway I will pick up a copy of the Day Care summer calendars for each kid, that lists their special events for summer. And I will give both calendars to Dan after the baseball game tonight since we will both be there. Once he is armed with the needed information, it is his job to figure out what he wants to do with the kids on his days. Period.
