[quote=Anonymous][quote]Frankly, you just sound like you don't want to spend any time with your kids at all. Babysitting your own kids? SMH.[/quote]

You are wrong. I have 50/50 custody. I take the kids to extracurriculars on days when she has custody. But I have no obligation to adjust my schedule to suit her whims, and she knows better than to ask me.

In this example, it is in fact the [i]woman [/i]who sounds like she does not want to spend any time with her kids at all. She's trying to set up dates on days when she has custody FFS. Obviously her romantic life is more important to her than her kids.

You are an adult. You know what the schedule is, because you agreed to it. Plan your life accordingly. Attempts to guilt-trip me into doing what you want with "you don't care about your kids" nonsense will meet with the contempt they deserve.

[quote] If you are worried about who your ex-wife finds on Tinder you have much bigger problems then addressing her request. [/quote]

You really struggle with reading comprehension and getting the point. I don't care at all what she does [i]with her time, on her non-custodial days[/i]. But if she thinks I'm going to adjust my schedule for something that is not a work or child-related emergency, she is utterly mistaken.

[quote]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. [/quote]

But none of those were given as reasons in the original comment to which I responded.

[quote]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. [/quote]

Nope. It sends a strong message that she should confine her dating life to days when she does not have custody. Why is this so hard for you to understand?

[quote]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. [/quote]

You sound like a schmuck whose wife got disgusted because he was a doormat. And you still are.[/quote]
