[quote=Anonymous][quote]If she says she has to work late on an important project, that is another matter, and even then, you are not required to agree. But, if she says "hey can you drop everything you want to do so I can go [b]date some guy I met on Tinder[/b]" his answer should be eff off, do that on your own non-custodial day. [/quote]

This statement proves my point about bitterness.  You are right in that you do not have to do anything that is not called for in the custodial agreement or divorce decree.  My point was that you should not care why she asks to take the kids an extra night.  If you are worried about who your ex-wife finds on Tinder you have much bigger problems then addressing her request.

The reason for taking the kids on the specific night she asked should be:  1) you want to see them more and it would be a great night to do so; or 2) she has been good about takng them when you needed her to; or 3) you know she will return the favor; or 4) all of these.

Telling her that you will take the kids if she has to work but not if she has something social sends a strong message about how much you care about her dating life.  I got divorced because I did not care who ex-wife dated and still do not.  If I can help her out, I will and know she will do the same.

My life is rich enough and full enough that I have many things to care about.  My ex-wife's Tinder dating habits are not among them.[/quote]
