Her email about her birthday week-end also said: "Now what, do we need to organize December already so that you don't have unmovable plans? Do we need to plans weeks in advance now?" I know she will make me pay for this. It's very rare that I upset her since the separation, but I don't feel bad about this one.

I had replied "Yes, we can organize December if you want" and she responded with a plan. She's seeing family and friends abroad (plans predate separation), so she wants to have the kids more before she goes and immediately when she's back. I said it's fine with me (I'll have them 3 weeks in a row over the Holidays) but I'd like to take them out for dinner during the long period in December when they'll be with her.
