English. Because words and stuff.
2houses is a pretty darn good website. The change request option lets you pick the date(s) you're requesting the change be on, which parent you would like to have physical custody on that date, and which kid or kids would be with said parent. My only complaint about it is that if you're asking to switch weekends, then you need to send two separate requests - the first request indicating which weekend you'd like the kids and the second request indicating which weekend you'd like the other parent to have the kids. But hey, it's free and we get verification that The Ex read the message. That alone is worth having to send two messages about the same thing.
Our extended family is making plans for a milestone birthday next month; the party is going to be on The Ex's weekend. Husband sent a change request asking to switch weekends. As outlined above, the first request indicated that he'd like to have the kids on the weekend March 13th-15th; the second request indicated he'd like The Ex to have the kids March 20th-22nd in exchange for him keeping the kids the previous weekend.
Two days later, The Ex declined the first request and wrote:
"We already have plans for that weekend. Sorry" (I don't believe her for a second but arguing will be pointless. It's her weekend, she said no; we will have to go to the party without the kids.)
Three minutes later, The Ex declined the second request and wrote:
"I would hate to decline on you. (If you would "hate" to decline, then why didn't you click accept?) I'll have to get back to you in another week at the least. (What she actually meant was, "You'll have to give me at least another week to get back to you." Yet she has, again, managed to completely mangle a simple sentence in the English language. Also, she already clicked decline and stated that she can't/won't switch weekends. There is nothing to "get back to Husband" about.)
Quite honestly? I don't think she had plans at all. This woman can't plan ahead to save her life. She literally calls half an hour before exchange time asking to pick up the kids early. She waits until Thursday night to call about Daughter's game that Friday night. She says on Monday that she wants to pick up Son on Thursday, despite Husband asking her almost 2 weeks prior what she'd like to do.
So no, I do not believe that she already had plans a month in advance. Husband sent this change request the same night that The Ex was forty minutes late for exchange time. Fitting her textbook narcissist mold, I think that she was angry at Husband because he was upset that she was forty minutes late. The fact that he dared to be upset with her implies she was wrong, which she will never admit to. So if he's going to get upset with her, she'll just refuse any requests he makes.
