Anyway, I'm hoping the fact she agreed to this setup sets the precedent for the future...
It will weigh heavily in your favor so that is awesome that she agreed to it, congrats! It's very tough to change visitation once the precedent has been set.

I also got an email from her lawyer asking if she could have the kids on Halloween to go trick or treating because "Halloween really isn't his thing and I want to make sure the kids don't miss out on trick or treating". I told them I had already purchased the kids' costumes and planned on taking them. The way I see it, she just wants them for the photo op. "Look at me, social media! I'm taking my kids trick or treating! I'm such a good mom! Look at me!"...
Wow no kidding. How about "because I am their mother and would really love to spend time with them." No, she's got to make it sound like she's trying to save them from your lack of interest. Regarding that last part though, strike it from your mind. Shouldn't be on your radar.

I know she's going to feed them a bunch of BS, because she has in the past. Making excuses for why she hasn't been around and blaming it on me. Not sure if I mentioned it in previous posts, but several months ago, she told the kids that I wouldn't let her see them and showed them her phone with all the attempted phone calls that I did not answer.
Well if she pulls that then of course it's very upsetting, but you can't control that, so try not to let it get to you as that is just a form of her manipulating YOU by using the kids against you. The kids know what kind of a dad they have. And if you let it roll off of you then at some point your W will quit doing it because it's not getting the desired reaction. Remember an energy vampire is just after energy, they could care less whether it's positive or negative. You can't fight an energy vampire by feeding them more energy, but only by cutting the energy off completely.
