My ex and I use the 'week on, week off' framework, Friday to Friday. She asked if I could keep the kids from her Friday to 'some time' on Sunday because she had to work Friday night, all day Saturday, and had an Xmas party to go to for her work.
I love having my kids as much as humanly possible, so I course agreed to her request. When I emailed and asked her what time I should plan for her to come by my house on Sunday to grab the kids, she said:
"Time TBD depending on hangover"
Now, I would have liked for her to have at least said "11ish" or "around noon", or something like that, but I've learned not to sweat the small stuff. I decided to let it slide and focus on more important things for the day. She is also not a frequent drinker, so I don't want to leave anyone with the impression that this is something she does on a regular basis.
That being said, I have to wonder though, what would YOU folks have done? Would you have stood your ground and insisted on a specific time? Would you have expressed disapproval about how your ex is planning on being hungover on the day that she's supposed to get her kids for the start of the week?
I sometimes wonder if I've sacrificed too much to 'keep the peace' as it were, and that's one of the reasons that I go on this forum, which is to get a sense of how other people handle this stuff.
