I usually tell my ex-wife, "Parent teacher conferences are this week. I'm going Tuesday at 3pm." It's her choice to come, not come, or schedule another time. The teacher usually e-mails a notice, too. In practice only I go. She says she's busy and I tell her I'll let her know how it turns out.

"We can't go at the same time"" would be unlikely and a non-sequitur if you sent her a copy. She may have said, "When are you going?" or "I could go on Tuesday or Wednesday, are you coming too?" In her shoes I would also have had a negative reaction to your texts. I wouldn't have called you names, of course.
This is emotional stuff. No big deal. I goof about as often as I succeed.
