My ex and I are close but have yet to sign our SA. Its tentative. One of its clauses states that for long weekends that whoever has the children that weekend, gets to have the extra day of parenting time with the kids on the holiday Monday.
My ex has reached out asking me if she can pick up the kids early on Family day and for me to forgo completely Easter Monday so that she can have this time with the kids.
My gut reaction is NO!
I had reached out awhile back asking for more time with our kids. I said there was no reason why an extra 2 overnights would be bad for them. She refused and challenged me to bring her to court, knowing the time and cost it would take.
That's why my gut is saying no to giving her the requested times. As far as I see it, she will have them next year with the kids when it falls on her weekends and so on and so on.
I'm really trying to see if about being the bigger person and if it's worth it. Yes, I'm angry that my kids are withheld from me for $$ for awhile. I see it as I'm fighting her for time with my kids and any extra parenting time they can have with me is in their benefit.
I'm ok with alternating these weekends every year. My ex wants what's different than in our tentative agreement. Another thing, would this bot set up a precedent as this is our first year doing so?
