Hi,
A little background:
H has been stating on and off that he wants the kids for all summer. When I asked him about his wishes last week, he told me that I need to discuss it with his lawyer and that he won't discuss anything with me and proceeded to hang up on me. On Tuesday of this week, I sent him a proposal via email with a tentative schedule for the kids giving him 3.5 weeks of time with them. At the end of the email, I wrote, "Please confirm receipt of this email and your thoughts on the proposal as soon as possible." I didn't hear back from him. Last night at soccer, I had to ask him if he received my email. He said yes. So, now I'm wondering, is three days long enough for him to have replied to my email?
It's becoming quite a habit with him to threaten something via lawyer, etc. and then when I comply (partially or fully - in other situations) he completely dismisses my attempt at compromising with him.
What should my next steps be? I need to get this figured out soon because with four children under 12 yrs. old and having to work all summer, it would be nice to have the schedule in place. I was very clear in the email detailing who has camp when , where and who has daycare and who doesn't have care. I outlined this for every week during the summer break.
I don't want to come across as pestering him but at the same time, I'm tired of him bullying me and threatening me with all sorts of unreasonable action. Should I set a time limit on a reply from him?
Any thoughts are appreciated!
