Quote: Maybe I'm misreading here, but it appears that in these instances you made plans to do something nice together, but left it to her to make the necessary arrangements for the kids and the timing.
I'm usually the one who has to plan the "dates," and she does like for me to do that. And I would be perfectly willing to do that in the above "bigger deal" cases, but I guess what I was hoping for was SOME sort of enthusiasm on her part. I would be perfectly fine with a genuine "Oh my, that sounds WONDERFUL -- but what would we do with the kids???" at which point we could jointly figure out how to make it happen, or I'd probably be so excited that SHE was excited that I'd be happy to make all the logistics myself. But she never even seems EXCITED about these things -- just views them as hassles.
