@summit1983 This is why I really enjoy having friends without kids. They treat me like a normal human lol

@summit1983 THIS is why I hate it when people say things like, you got this girl! You go mama! You’re a superhero! When you vent. It’s almost worse than telling you to suck it up. It completely belittles your feelings and is so fucking patronizing. NO I don’t always “got it”. DONT refer to me as...

@parodyofjay This is literally the reason DV shelters exist. Go there. They will have advice on what to do, resources for you and your kids, help you get housing, and you will need no money. They even will give you gifts for your kids if they have a birthday while you are there. They will have...

@jham123 This is honestly coming off as a little catty/meangirlish. What do you want people to say? She’s trashy? Will that help you feel any better? Why don’t you just wait and see how she treats your child before judging her.

@jham123 Why does it matter what the opinion of a bunch of strangers are? She’s his girlfriend. You don’t get to pick his girlfriends. That’s his job.

@sabrinawellard Stop using social media as a tool to measure your coparenting relationship. Don't get them anything. A card is sufficient

@awesome777yay There’s nothing CPS can do to help this situation. They can suggest therapy but that’s about it unless she’s open to them helping her with resources, which it sounds like she’s not. Calling them will just put her on their radar. To be fair to your friend toddlers are...

@corynna Lol I love that

@fizzywig My ex refused to renew his account last year so he no longer gets anything he would if he had the app. Period. He gets no doctor information, report cards, psych reports. Nothing. I communicate necessary information with a 3rd party. That’s all. If he wanted the information he would...

@jesussoldier Plasticine would probably be great then. My sister never put hers down as a kid and would sleep with it in her hand. It would stain her sheets a bit but other than that I think it was OK.

@ricksmith You aren’t doing anything wrong. His faults are not yours. This is the way I look at child support: Should my child’s father contribute to his necessities and quality of life? Obviously. Can I make him? No. What he does only reflects on him and our child isn’t stupid. He will see...

@jesussoldier A little but it wouldn’t stay. If he likes making little models Crayola Model Magic comes in two different varieties. One that’s sort of foamy/light and one that’s stiffer like regular modeling clay. It takes a long time to dry, but once it does it’s permanent. I keep it is ziplock...

@ricksmith It’s fine. he’s the one that would end up screwed over if you said he never gave it to you or that it was a gift and not CP. only the money going through the agency is counted unless one of you reports the payment to them with proof.

@ricksmith Because he’s stupid. Tell him you want it through whatever agency is in charge. He probably doesn’t want them knowing he’s working and is lying to them.

@jesussoldier Have you tried silly putty? It’s pretty resistant the way babybel wax is. And gets softer the more you play with it like babybel wax. If you put it in the fridge for a bit it also gets much harder.

@ricksmith That doesn’t matter. Just serve him papers. If you have to do it at a pickup or drop off because you don’t know where he lives (also probably a violation of your order) then so be it. You need to get tough and start standing up for yourself.

@techyinaz No. Do not tell them that. Right now emotions are high and people aren't thinking things through. Go through proper channels and get a court order. For now just tell your kids that you know they miss their dad and you hope they will see him again soon, but you aren't sure when...

@jks777 Then why suggest it or bring it up?

@jks777 This isn’t allowed and can wind up putting OP in court with a pissed off judge. Visitation and CP are separated for a reason. Abstaining visits damages the children just as much, if not more, than other parent. Why punish a child for their parents stupidity.

@debbiedee I think it’s fine if you get a pull out couch or trundle bed so the bedroom is designated as “their” space.
