When you ask the father of your children to update you on his travel schedule between now and Christmas and he then e-mails you an excel spreadsheet and said spreadsheet details that
a) he is away for two weekends in a row when he is scheduled to have the children, and
b) that he is away for the weekend of daughter's birthday party which he is supposed to be arranging, and
c) he gives you no context or justification for this schedule
is it ok to be pissed off?

Six out of six commenters agree, he's a c*nut.
And I bet you're the one who gets to tell the kids, right?
(the spreadsheet alone is a bit much if you ask me)

NO ... just kidding.
There must have been reasons why you split and it sounds like you've just received another one.
Computer studies are very important these days so perhaps you'd like to start helping the kids to quantify fatherly love with the aid of a spreadsheet.

oooh, spot on, david.
hell hath no fury like a woman with no weekends off in sight due to an ex's calendar 'malfunction'....
your poor daughter, too. doesn't he know that letting kids down is no good for their tender little pysches?!

Maybe I'm sailing into the breeze, but I think its kinda cool to be so organised (and obviously such a jetsetter) you have a spreadsheet planner.
But spreadsheets can be changed. maybe he was just operating in a parallel universe and didn't notice the clashes you mentioned?

Sorry Steev but how can you be soooo organised that you would forget to schedule your children and one of their birthdays in?
