We love spending time with the kids. We don't have them 100% of the time, but see them as much as possible. If things don't go the ex's way, such as not taking the kids when she wants to run off and do something out of the blue, she is so predictable by not letting us have the kids when there are family functions or events we've traditionally attended together. It's pathetic, but again, predictable. Not returning calls or emails as it relates to scheduling visits. Trust me, we love to treat her the same way, but it's so petty, rude and not in the best interest of the kids. It is so sad to witness how a person is so self centered and only thinks of herself, versus what is best for the kids. I feel like we have to be extra extra extra caring parents to make up for what she is lacking when it comes to providing the attention and love the kids need.

His ex must have some kind of radar...or maybe our house is bugged. It seems like everytime we have some trip or event planned she decides she needs to be somewhere and asks us to take the kids. Of course we do, but then we have to change and arrange all our plans again....is this an ex-trasensory power? We even try to keep our plans quiet...but somehow she finds out or has incredible timing.

Now that summer is here, we are faced with a major challenge. My husband and I have rules and a budget on what we can do. My ex has no rules and unlimited funds so the kids want to be with him more right now. They are still very young and all they understand right now is there is little to no discipline at his house and they get whatever they want, when they want it (it helps him keep them in check (huh). I really don't know how to handle this situation, any help out there?????
