Communication issues with ex about pickup times

J

She keeps texting me last minute that I need to pick up the kids earlier or later. I work a job with set hours and this is making it really hard to plan my day. How do you guys handle this? I want to be flexible but I also need to know what's happening. Should I ask her to stick to the schedule or am I being unreasonable?

This is tough man. Last minute schedule changes make it impossible to plan your day. Have you tried setting up a specific time window where she has to let you know by? Like maybe a rule that pickup times need to be confirmed by 5pm the day before?

Communication apps like Our Family Wizard might help. They're specifically designed for this stuff so everything is documented and there's less room for miscommunication. Probably worth looking into if it keeps happening.

Yeah the constant texting about different times is exhausting. I deal with similar stuff. Sometimes I just had to have a conversation and say look, I need at least 24 hours notice or we're sticking to the original plan. Gotta set boundaries.
