Ex wont answer texts about kid stuff

This is frustrating me to no end. We have a 50/50 schedule but when I text her questions about our son's soccer registration or his doctor appointment she takes like 12 hours to respond or just ignores it. Then when I make decisions on my own shes mad. I suggested we use one of those co-parenting apps but she said that was overkill. What am I supposed to do here?

I've been there. My suggestion is to document everything and keep texts simple and direct. No venting, just facts. I also use a co-parenting app now so there's a record and it feels more official somehow, makes responses more likely.

This is infuriating. With 50/50 you'd think basic kid stuff would be easier to coordinate. Have you tried setting expectations like 'I'll reach out about X by this time and expect a response by Y'? Sometimes parents don't realize how frustrating the silence is.

Have you talked to her directly about this? Not angry, just 'hey I need to be able to reach you about our son - can we figure out a communication system that works?' Sometimes people don't realize they're being neglectful about it.
