AITA for telling my ex I'm not switching weekends again for her boyfriend's family stuff?
me (45M), divorced, co-parent two teenagers (16M, 14F) with my ex. we do alternating weekends, it's in the order, it's worked for four years. her boyfriend's family does a lot. reunions, a lake place, his mother's birthday which apparently is a weekend. since january she's asked to swap seven times. i've said yes to six. the seventh was my daughter's birthday weekend, which is mine in the rotation and has been mine every other year since the divorce. i said no. she said i'm being rigid and punishing her for having a life, and that the kids want to go to the lake. i asked my daughter. my daughter said she'd rather go to the lake. that was a bad afternoon. so now i'm the guy holding a court order in front of a 14 year old who wants to go swimming. i still said no. my brother says i won a point and lost a weekend with a kid who now associates me with the word no.
