I need to confirm if I'm picking up the kids Thursday or Friday and she's been ghosting me for 2 days. This happens constantly. Do I just show up Thursday? I don't want to mess up the kids plans but also I can't keep guessing. Any advice on how to handle this?
That's infuriating man. You need to know for planning purposes and she's making it impossible. Have you tried a different communication method or asking her to respond by a specific time?
Is there a reason she's ghosting you or just being difficult? Either way you can't plan your week around her being unavailable. That's not fair to you or the kids.
This would stress me out too. Maybe send one more text asking her to confirm by end of day and if she doesn't respond then you pick Thursday and let her figure it out?
I hate to say it but this might be a co-parenting app situation. Keeps everything documented and you don't have to rely on text responses. Less room for 'I didn't see that.'
Ugh, the silent treatment about logistics is the worst. You need to know when you're picking up the kids. Have you thought about using a co-parenting app like OurFamilyWizard? It creates a paper trail and keeps things formal.
That's rough and unfair to you and the kids. They're waiting around not knowing what's happening. Might be time for a more formal communication method if she keeps ghosting on important stuff.

That's frustrating man. Co-parenting is hard enough without the communication breakdowns. Have you tried calling her instead or sending an email? Sometimes people respond better to different methods.
