Ok, folks. I need some very practical advice. This kind of thing keeps coming up and I don't know how to respond.
We have a very regular parenting schedule worked out. So, when something comes up during his time, he writes, "I am busy <during the time he is scheduled to be with D3>. I'm happy to try to switch things around a bit that weekend, or take her for a couple of hours on that day if you need to run errands, or you can just spend the whole day with her. Up to you, assuming you are available."
*Blink. Blink blink.* Seriously? Every.Single.Time I have needed to change the schedule, I have *asked* him if he is available, and *asked* him to let me know if he is not so that I can make other arrangements. W.T.F.?!
I want to scream at him. I know I can't. But what *can* I say, besides, "I'm not available, sorry." Or, do I just say that?
Please...I need a reality check and advice! I have been such a good Db'er for a long time. But I am really about to lose it. He does this all the time. He has her for one overnight a week.
