Darn, I want your constructive criticism but that bites because I want to say the right things. I can’t just immediately respond to W and say “sure, I am available”. I love seeing the kids but I don’t want to be available on a whims notice. Moving forward, what’s a good suggestion? I am sure I can keep myself busy with friends next weekend but I want to see the kids. Maybe give her more details such as "I have plans to go camping but I might be able to rearrange things."
