Egged by the Easter Bunny

When CB & Jack's divorce agreement had been finalized, holidays other than Christmas had been overlooked in regards to rotation. When this was first realized, several years ago that that would mean, due to how that schedule works, that one parent would have a 4 year stretch with no easters, halloween, birthdays, etc. Jack brought it up to CB and suggested they agree to rotate the major holidays each year regardless of whos care she was in the time.

Initially CB would not agree... as she was due to have her second Halloween in a row, which of course she took. But funnily enough when it entered our cycle to have many years of Halloweens with Kelly,, CB suddenly saw the merit of this decision and agreed. And so we began exchanging holidays.

Last year CB had Kelly for Easter, so this year we were due to have ours. We were technically due to return Kelly Saturday evening, but as Easter was the next day we thought (foolishly in hindsight)that we would be keeping her for Easter as agreed upon and planned accordingly. Even Kelly was of the belief that she would be spending Easter here as she knew she had been at her mothers the year before and looked forward to the Easter Egg hunt with her stepsiblings.

I guess Kelly mentioned this to her mother, and CB quickly got on the phone and informed Jack... that NO, he would not be having Kelly for Easter and whatever gave him the idea that he was. She then denied any knowledge of any such agreement. Even when Jack forwarded her the email in which they had agreed to it,,,, she still pled ignorance and refused to allow Kelly to stay for Easter. Very disappointing for everyone involved.

Next year we will be going into our cycle of 4 years of Easters falling on our dates. I'm sure that CB will once again have a miraculous recovery of her memory and will bring up the arrangement to rotate. To insure that there is no more 'confusion' and assist CB's on again off again alzeihemers, he has written her another email outlining what she has stated presently is her understanding of holidays... and that is... THAT WE DO NOT ROTATE!
