We agreed I pick up Tuesdays and Thursdays. Now she's saying she needs those days sometimes and wants me to be "flexible." I'm flexible plenty but I also count on those days with my kids. How do you guys handle this without it turning into a big fight? My lawyer said to document everything but I hate feeling like I'm building a case against my kids' mom.

The key here is not making it about winning or losing but about what's actually best for the kids. If you need those days to make your schedule work, that matters. But also listen to why she's asking for the flexibility. Maybe there's a compromise that works for both of you.
Don't let this slide. I made that mistake early on and suddenly half my parenting time was gone. Set the boundary now or it becomes a pattern.
