Ok so my ex contacted me earlier about me needing to request a week off from work to take care of our kids because she got scheduled to travel to another city to work for a week. Just want to say is not that I don't want to have my kids for the week cause honestly I love having them but man im just torn cause not only do i have to use my vacation days to plan around her schedule but I'm on a budget and I have a tight budget on just the days I'm supposed to have them. Honestly what would you all do. I dont want my kids to think i dont want to be with them cause thats not the case. I already pick them up from school everyday and take them to their practices and games so its not like I'm not trying to see them or anything. Just stuck between trying to be a good father but setting my limits because she has pulled this before to go out and travel or party for a weekend. Only saying because I found that out from her family.
