I have also, had battles along those lines with my kids mother. It can be very alarming when a parent appears to be more concern about their "important" appointments more so, than their child/children. I have found that it hurts more to try and change someone else who is not ready for change. What I can control is my responsibilities and how I respond to the other parent. At times, I wonder if this frustration comes out of our frustration of not "making" it with the other parent? Just a thought.
