Don't worry mate I feel your frustration I also get this sort of behavior from the ex all the time. You try and politely arrange something weeks in advance to avoid confrontation closer to the time of the event but she just wont engage in a discussion or agree to anything just out of spite to be difficult coz she's got nothing better to do with her sad little life than cause drama, then when you tell her what you are going to do and when you are going to be there to see kids she gets all aggressive and makes you out to be some sort of criminal with malicious intent.
My experience is often that her earliest convenience is in the year two thousand and never.
Keep the pressure on, e-mail her and explicitly state you would like to see your children on Christmas Day as you are sure they would be disappointed if she did not let them see their Dad. Tell her that you are willing to be reasonable (you should try despite her provocations) and that you would like at least 3 hours with them and please could she let you know when this will be possible as soon as possible so you can make the necessary arrangements so you can plan your own Christmas Day.
Good luck.

That sounds exactly the kind of email I get - so superior! When will the law recognise that giving "sole residence" to Mothers turns them into megalomaniacs.
Don't get into an argument. Keep the email as evidence for some stage. Anything you put in writing can be used against you. So ignore the twaddle and just reply something like.
Please can we arrange when is a suitable time for me to collect children for Christmas. Regards ex DP.

I think courts should automatically start awarding kids to fathers for xmas period everytime they thinks it clever to not let their fathers see their children christmas time. ie if stopped this year automatically have them next year they will soon buck up their ideas. They only stop you christmas day to hurt you and be spiteful without even considering the poor children that get to suffer and have their christmas day ruined in the process

Seems to be a common story here; I had a verbal arrangement with ex, but since she met he new boyfriend reason goes out the window. Last year she had the kids Xmas eve until 3pm Xmas Day, the plan was to alternate this on an annual basis. She has now told me she "has plans", so god knows when I'll see them over Xmas. I have instructed a lawyer to seek amicable solution re split access, this I know will be ignored, so I'll need to go for a court order as she now does what she wants with access over holiday periods, last summer I one week with my children.
Tired of a lop-sided law that lets women do as they please, even to the detriment of their children.
