Bug - her mom comes about once, maybe twice a year. Her dad does not travel too well anymore so he has not been here since before the D. XW tries to get back once in the summer and once during the holidays....historically I have supplemented those trips with my time. I stopped doing it last Christmas and she became quite angry.

XW texted me this morning (it's my bday today):

"was running late this morning so will have S call to wish you happy birthday later today. If you want to pick him up after school today to spend time with him, you can."

It's her day to have him, so I am going to respectfully decline her offer. Seems inappropriate for me to draw a hard line on the divorce agreement and then accept concessions from her....plus I made plans to celebrate with S tomorrow. But yeah, I sure wish I could see him today for my bday - but it's not going to happen.
