I would agree completely with GB and add -- if you wanted to take a STAYCATION during that week and you WEREN'T planning on getting away that you still would be well within your rights to say no to him. HIS understanding of whether something is reasonable is not the only determining factor in what IS reasonable.
I have to say, Claire, you've been very kind and accommodating to him. I'd love to see you stand up for yourself a little more and not be so quick to see his side. He doesn't give you that kind of consideration and I think his message to you about "not understanding" was snarky and rude. He's treating you like a childcare resource. He's a father. If something isn't working for him during the time you have agreed he's responsible for her, then it's HIS responsibility to resolve the problem.
I hope you know I say that because I care about your well-being. You do a hard job under hard circumstances.
