Well a small mistake mixed in with an incorrect assumption, and viola my plans are now up in the air. She had changed the color coding on our parenting spreadsheet (baseline dates are one set of colors, and changes are another), but I never caught it until now.

Heres the email exchange... I had a lot of other bad things in the third email, but I toned it way way down. At the crux of my problem is broken communication lines, and that although we may be doing the best we can by ourselves, we are not doing the best we can as two coparents.

First - "X, I never lined up the May & June Schedules until this AM. The first week in June is incorrect per the schedule, as a result I have them back to back weekends, when you should have them the first weekend in June. As I am sure you are busy, would you like me to update the schedule? Mahhhty"

Second - "Mahhhty, I realize that. My parents are bringing them to the airport Thursday to pick me up and then I will have time off with them, so my weekend starts earlier. It's just one of those weeks that does not fit into the schedule. Plus, I wanted to make it so that you had them Fathers Day weekend. On a separate note, what are your thoughts about S's birthday?
X"

Third - "Last week, I started to plan out his birthday, under the incorrect assumption that I had the kids the following weekend.

My plan for birthday dinner was to go out or to get {restaurant} chicken fingers at the house, so he could open presents & have cake. For the weekend, I was planning a party on Saturday, and I have almost finished his birthday invites, menu & to do list."
