What would be natural here?

Context: A divorced father has had his kids over for a few hours and they ended up having a heated argument that ruined the evening. His ex-wife talks with him two days later. She is angry and says this:

"What's wrong with you? Why couldn't you just have a good/fun/enjoyable/pleasant time/evening/day with them? I don't get it."


What would be the most natural thing to say here? Feel free to rephrase my suggestion if you have something better. Thank you in advance.
