I totally disagree, especially as she may need his help due to her long work hours.  I have a friend who is only communicating with her ex by text about their kid at this point because she took a hard line (and chewed him out) too many times.  You really have to keep in mind that you'll be co-parenting for at least the next 15 years.  Think about this: do you want to not be invited to your kids wedding because you couldn't get along with their father?

But I would definitely send an email noting that this violates the agreement (and stating how) but that you won't force him to change the tickets this time, as long as he won't do it again and lets you make up the time over the 4th.

As for the other incident, if anything something like that happens again, OP, you need to make him fix the problem he caused (in that instance, find and pay for a sitter).  Make it a very matter of fact, non-emotional conversation.  [/quote]
