The 4th of July Is My Holiday With My Daughter....

The 4th of July is my holiday this year with my daughter. I didn't have any money to buy fireworks for the kids(I also have a 2 year old son) this year but my ex had bought my daughter a boat load of fireworks so she shot some off here the past couple days.

Now if you don't already know, my ex has primary custody of our daughter so when I get her for a holiday then it is special time I get to spend with her. Well, he brought her over this morning and I let her shot a few of her fireworks this morning. Well, the town I live in is having a 4th of July celebration at the park, free BBQ, games, etc. It didn't start until 4pm and I was planning on taking the kids to it. Well, my ex works for the City and was already up there working. My daughter kept bugging me to let her go to the park and I kept telling her that she would go when we all went at 4 o'clock. Then about 2:30 my ex comes by my house and asks her if she wants to go to the park with him because there are already a bunch of kids there playing. I got mad, but I went ahead and let her go and I told her that her brother and I would be there shortly. Well, we got there about 3:30 and she was running around playing with all the kids. I played with my 2 year old and I let him throw a few Snap Dragons a/k/a poppers. Well, they started serving the food and I try to get my daughter to get in line with me (struggling to hold on to a two year old because he wants to run around), she doesn't want to, she would rather go run off and do something else. I was really frustrated at this point, then after me and my 2 year old ate (still a struggle to get a 2 year old to sit down and eat), I get up and walk over to a game they have going on (which costs money to play). My ex had give my daughter money to play it. Now my 2 year old wants to play and they let him play a bit for free which I thought was nice but I didn't have any money to pay for the kids to play games so I was trying to get my 2 year old to go play on the slide or swings. Now, my ex tells my daughter to go with him to get something to eat. And they walk off to get something to eat. At this point, I'm totally pissed! This is my holiday and he is the one getting to enjoy it with our daughter, not me. I stay a little longer and chase my 2 year around, he kept wanting to play the game that cost money. I get so frustrated trying to keep up with him that I just decide to bring him home and let him throw some more Snap Dragons here at home. So, I go over to where my ex and daughter are eating and just tell them that we are leaving and we will be back later to watch the fireworks.

Am I wrong for being pissed off? Should I have made her stay here with me to begin with, should I have made her leave when I left? I am just so frustrated right now, not just with my ex, but also with my 8 year old daughter for not giving me an opportunity to spend today with her.
