I Have One, Simple Question

How difficult is it to remember the following:

1. On Monday evenings, I drop our son off at your home at 6pm.

2. On Tuesday evenings, you pick our son up from my home at 6pm.

Am I missing something, or is this really that difficult to remember? Every single week my ex asks our son if he’s picking him up or if he’s being dropped off. If a twelve-year-old can remember the schedule, why can’t a 34-year-old man?

Now, the ex’s newest development is that he can’t remember which weekends he supposed to have our son. This past weekend, I had our son. Earlier in the week, the ex asked our son if which parent he was going to be with... twice.

First of all, it’s not our son’s job or responsibility to remember the custody schedule. As adults, that’s our job. If the ex really can’t remember where and when he is supposed to pick up our kid, he should contact me. Actually, he shouldn’t contact me; he should consult the custody section of the divorce decree!

I’m assuming he doesn’t want to embarrass himself by calling me and saying, “Even though we’ve had this custody arrangement for two years, I still have no idea which night I’m supposed to pick up our child.” I have a simple solution for this problem - buy a calendar and write down the schedule!
