Yes, obviously she is taking advantage of me as the on-call babysitter and that's even more proof she isn't thinking right.
So why did you agree to it?
you can put up with pretty much anything for your kids.
If I only saw my kid two days a week, I'd be the on call baby sitter, too. Every day is precious, and something you can never, ever get back.
On the one hand, I completely agree. Every day is precious, and I have trouble forgiving my ex for taking half of those days away from me.
But where do you draw the line? 2 days? 3.5 days? 5 days?
For me, I would get to a schedule I would agree with. Then, for days beyond that schedule Id take on a case by case basis. If there was an emergency or Im really free, then sure, I might take the kids every once in a while to 'help'. But Im not going to go out of my way to help just because I got asked to.
Rather than taking the days she asks you for, I think you need to see a L to get your custody back to 50% where it should be. Then you dont have to worry about whether or not to take her crumbs of time.
You say she hasnt lost anything. How will she if youre willing to jump every time she asks you to?
