Year and half separated and half a year divorced with a 6 year old, 50/50 custody. Ex took the kid for about 11 days vacation which I agreed to. She's now asking that I make up for those days and give her a weekend and few more days. Today she said I'm sick and I don't want to pass a bug to the kid so you take him for another 7 days - basically have her long weekend off. So she wants practically another 7 days to "recover" and then she'll take him and trade this for next couple weekends. It might have to do with me being late one day due to some issues I had that day, but I don't know nor can I prove that. So she hasn't seen him for 9 days and another 7 after this, and kind of a last minute too - she just got sick and tomorrow is her 5 days with him. I can't prove it but sounds like bs, she wanted that weekend off at some point anyway.

I like spending time with my kid, but I practically have to cancel all my plans these few days because of this. im not even sure how to respond to this while still maintaining my cool. I dont think it's ok. Just when I thought we're finally able to co-parent and not deal with this stuff she still wants to get in my skin.

Gents, what would you do in this situation? I worry this is just power grab and can set a bad precedence for more of this to happen. I might be delusional but from her messages I sense something has changed and drama is creeping back in. I even looked up "narcissism" today after a long while. Anyway, so far I'm maintaining my cool but I'm fuming. Maybe she's really sick but I don't think this is in good faith.
