Me: [Daughter] keeps answering, your line appears to have an issue connecting. 7:57 PM
[the ex]: Just call me. I am waiting. Pls call w [Daughter]. 7:57 PM
Me: [Daughter] keeps answering, your line appears to have an issue connecting 7:58 PM
[the ex]: Pls give [Daughter] a chance to say goodnight. The call wa cut when she was talking. 8:40 PM
[the ex]: No souNd after the call recording announcement. Pls answer w my girl. 8:41 PM
Me: clearly, your phone is having issues. 8:42 PM
Me: I will note its 8:43. This is a really late call, please call earlier if you can. 8:43 PM
[the ex]: We will need ALL of your call recordings so we shall see the nature of your reindeer games with these phone calls. Goodnight. 8:46 PM
Me: First, use the context of "reindeer games" appropriately. 8:47 PM
[the ex]: Pls stop texting. Use this number to call w my child. 8:47 PM
Me: Second, your call issues ALWAYS coordinate with court hearings. 8:47 PM
Me: And lastly, you are calling a HOME line with no signals nor while driving etc. 8:48 PM
Me: I am unsure of who YOUR child is, OUR child is getting ready for bed. 8:48 PM
Me: As an FYI... effective immediately, our phones will no longer accept calls after 8PM. Your calls are simply disruptive and you have the ability to call at an earlier time. 8:49 PM
Me: There will be no room for your tirades as you have been put on notice that: OUR PHONES WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT CALLS AFTER 8PM. 8:50 PM
Me: OR BEFORE 9 AM. 8:51 PM

[the ex]: Pls have [Daughter] available. I will be able to call before eight thirty. Thanks. 8:02 PM
[the ex]: Pls text bk if u will take my call. 8:28 PM
[the ex]: No text bk. No call from u for [Daughter] to speak w her mom. So sad. I will try tomorrow. 9:04 PM
Me: Please call between the hours of 9AM and 8PM. You have refused to discuss anything with me in regards to [Daughter] so I will no longer request that you do so. 10:00 PM
Me: I did state to you yesterday that phone calls past 8PM will no longer be accepted as the calls are disruptive to my household. 10:03 PM
Me: There is an 11 hour window to utilize. Sad you are not making calls your priority. 10:04 PM

[the ex]: You are welcome to open dialog on call times u will accept. Today my child was not available early afternoon. Now there is no answer. 7:06 PM
[the ex]: Third call to u only to get voicemail. 7:16 PM
Me: If you wish, now would be a good time to call [Daughter] 7:27 PM
Me: If your lifestyle or schedule has changed and you need to amend the time, please let me know. We can work with you anytime BEFORE 8PM and AFTER 9 AM. 7:44 PM
Me: However you need to a. discuss this with me so that I can make [Daughter] available and b. do so prior to her bedtime as we are not sitting at home waiting for your call 7:45 PM
Me: As [Daughter] mentioned, we had a "Daddy/Daughter morning" and then she went to her friends house for a swimming party. Had we have known you intended to call, we would have made proper arrangements. 7:48 PM
Me: And lastly, calling three times in a row is simply unnecessary. When we are available, we will certainly call or text you. If we are not, the phone will go to voicemail, as it is supposed to do. 7:49 PM
Me: [Daughter] WILL NOT be buying eye glasses with you as she has NEVER required glasses to begin with. Additionally, you will NOT be allowing my daughter to wear make up whether she is with you or not. 7:56 PM
Me: I have specifically requested that you NOT buy a nine year old little girl eye shadow nor make up as it is unnecessary. 7:57 PM
[the ex]: Pls email. Text is not clear. Tnx. 7:58 PM
Me: Let this be clear: 8:09 PM
Me: YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO BUY GLASSES FOR MY DAUGHTER 8:09 PM
Me: [DAUGHTER] WILL NOT BE WEARING MAKEUP whether she is visiting you or not. 8:09 PM
Me: There is already an email, read it, understand it and respect it. Thank you. 8:10 PM

[the ex]: Pls call back w [Daughter] to say goodnight. 7:17 PM
[the ex]: No call back again. Tuesday night. 8:42 PM
Me: We can not be available every day for multiple phone calls. [Daughter] had an extended call with you this afternoon. Glad you were able to do that this Tuesday afternoon. 8:50 PM
Me: However is there a reason that you continue to text past 8PM or do you feel that there are no repercussions for your obscene behavior? 8:52 PM

[the ex]: I tried two numbers for contacting [Daughter]. No answer. Again. I hope she is allowed to talk between seven and eight. 5:17 PM

[the ex]: Now it went oit voicemail. Just want to give [Daughter] a chance to say goodnight. 7:34 PM
Me: Not only did you speak to [Daughter] twice today but my response here ought to prove that my phone is not disconnected. 9:16 PM

[the ex]: Pls hv [Daughter] avail for goodnight. Will be done before eight thirty. 8:00 PM
Me: You can not tell me at 8PM to alter the schedule, you need to do so PRIOR to the time designated. We had a very active day with more plans for the morning. 8:03 PM
Me: In order to amend the current schedule set for 7PM, you will first need to discuss with me times and availability and do so PRIOR to 8PM. 8:07 PM
Me: We do not sit at home waiting for your call however with NOTICE I can ensure [Daughter] has the time and the means to speak with you. 8:08 PM
Me: But again, texting at 8PM will not work. 8:08 PM
[the ex]: Simply ur answer is NO call w my child tonight. So sad. 8:10 PM
Me: Simple answer is your passive aggressive behavior is not conducive for parenting. 8:10 PM
Me: Again, if you want to alter the schedule, we are OPEN to your times however we will need to DISCUSS THIS PRIOR TO 8PM. 8:11 PM
Me: However, if you refuse to even discuss with me acceptable times, [Daughter] may not always be available. 8:12 PM
Me: Or you can ignore my attempt to work with you so you can gather evidence. Whats more important, [Daughter] or your case? 8:17 PM
[the ex]: Enough texting. Point is clear. Repeatedly. Stop filling up my phone w excuses. 8:19 PM
Me: Not one single excuse... maybe I am not being clear: 8:22 PM
Me: I will work with YOUR schedule if you are able to discuss with me prior to 8PM. But YOU have to take some initiative to deviate from the schedule YOU set. 8:23 PM
Me: Or again, you can be passive aggressive and continue compiling "evidence" at our daughter's detriment. 8:25 PM
[the ex]: Stop texting on this same thing please 8:34 PM
Me: So your answer is that you refuse to come to any resolution but will continue to complain when [Daughter] can not be made available outside of the schedule you set? 8:36 PM

[the ex]: Pls have [Daughter] available. I will call within a half hour. 8:07 PM
Me: Again, if you want to alter the schedule, we are OPEN to your times however we will need to DISCUSS THIS PRIOR TO 8PM. 8:09 PM
Me: However, if you refuse to even discuss with me acceptable times, [Daughter] may not always be available 8:10 PM
[the ex]: This type of response is not helpful. So sorry for [Daughter]. 8:29 PM
Me: My response to set up a time PRIOR to [Daughter]'s bedtime in the ELEVEN hour time span is unhelpful? 8:32 PM
Me: Did we not just discuss this yesterday where I offered to ensure [Daughter] available for a call at a time mutually convenient and you failed to respond? 8:33 PM
Me: But now you are upset because you failed to discuss a time with me and somehow this is my fault? 8:34 PM
Me: And yes, sorry for [Daughter] that you are more interested in making a case than actually speaking to her. 8:35 PM
Me: However, I will state AGAIN: I am more than willing to work with YOUR schedule if you discuss this with me BEFORE [Daughter]'s bedtime. 8:35 PM

[the ex]: Is there a good time earlier than seven today? 12:13 PM
Me: You can not call and demand [Daughter]. If the time you set does not work, we can move the time. 12:17 PM
[the ex]: So seven is time today? 12:18 PM
Me: [Daughter] is not at home but I believe 5PM would work. 12:18 PM
[the ex]: Hey that's great. I really appreciate it. 12:19 PM
Me: I just said that [Daughter] is not home but I believe 5 PM would work. FYI We do eat dinner at 6 PM, calling right at 6 will cut short the call. 12:21 PM
[the ex]: Great. Will make it work. Five. 12:22 PM
