I think I have posted in here a few times asking for some help with my crazy ex-husband. He still drives me nuts because he tries to squash ANYTHING I DO at every turn. Granted this is now not an isssue all the time but it always seems to be there when it comes to our kids. OH and whenever a cop shows up at the house but let's just try to focus on the kids. So I want to go to Grassroots with my kids. We both can choose two non-consecutive weeks in the summer. So here are my emails..........................

I would like to choose the week of July 15th for one of my weeks. Will that be a problem?

I am not clear from your note the days you intend to take.
Do you intend to take Sunday July 12th - Saturday July 18th as one of your weeks?

Yes that week but I believe a week would be Sunday to Sunday. It doesn't matter since Sunday is my day anyway. Unless you choose the next week as yours. If that is the case then I am sure we can work something out.

Last time I checked, a week was comprised of seven days and not eight. The agreement states you must take summer vacation in at least seven day blocks. If you take more than seven days you cant take another seven. Sunday to Saturday is seven days while Sunday to Sunday is eight days.
I may want to have them that week and I dont want to fight with you about my week starting on Sunday July 19th.

This is only an issue if you break it up on Sundays. Which is my day anyway. If you did other days there wouldn't be an issue.
There is only an issue if you take the kids the following week AND look at the weeks from Sunday to Sunday. We went over the same thing last year. Are you planning on taking the kids the following week? If so, then you would get them back on Sunday or Monday or whatever day we can choose as the start of the break.
I don't see how either of us can choose whole weeks and then expect them to end short of a Sunday. Then I would NEVER get a whole weekend included in my week since you always get Fridays.
In order to have my week choosen all we would have to do is choose another day to begin and end on OR you don't have any plans for that week so it isn't an issue either way. If you do have plans then even if this wasn't my week you would get them on Sunday. (If we use Sundays that is.)
Another fact to consider is that you have the kids the weekend before so Sunday 6/12 at 1pm to Sunday 19 at 1pm would be one week. Sunday to Saturday being a week is not correct.
So again, I want the week of 6/15 to have the kids. I get them on Sunday the 12th and one week from then would be the following Sunday the 19th at 1pm, which is my day. Please advise if you are choosing the week after and we will plan accordingly for the switch on the 19th.
..........I'm awaiting an answer from him and I just can't help but freak at the fact that I'm arguing about what a week actually is. I mean we BOTH have computer degrees and here we are 15 years later arguing about what a WEEK ACTUALLY IS :bang: My head hurts :undecided:
