@nannasin28 Honestly I was on your side until this. Do not shave her head. Cut it shorter so it’s easier to deal with but do not shave it. You’re absolutely right that this is traumatizing for her, so tell your husband to grow up and protect his daughter, or file for custody yourself.

@agapeos1080 I never said you were out of line for questioning her “parenting”, im not in your situation. I’m just suggesting you reflect on why she may be behaving this way and what your part in it may be. Your child only has 1 mom, but if you expand your perspective on what a parental figure...

@agapeos1080 It doesn’t sound like she’s questioning your parenting. It sounds like you are questioning her parenting and the issues regarding weather she should even be parenting your child at all. Reality is that in their home she probably is taking on a vast amount of the parental...

@fizzywig Just tell him how you will be communicating with him. If he says he’s not getting information tell him it’s on the app.

@agapeos1080 She is probably doing the majority of the parenting at her house, and is getting resentful. Instead of dealing with her problems with your ex she is finding other things to focus her resentment on. I know people are saying to ignore it, but I feel like her comment was passive...

@ricksmith Where I live at least you have to do your taxes yearly, but also it states that the CP provider needs to provide their annual income taxes to the receiver. That’s the only way you know you are getting a fair amount. There are so many ways to get around this. Especially if someone...

@gmapatgardner To me it seems like she’s the only one caring for step daughter in this situation. Mom is medically and psychologically neglecting her daughter and dad is not doing anything about it. It sounds like OP took really reasonable steps and has put in hours of her time to help SD with...

@emma1em See if his dad will sign some sort of form giving you temporary guardianship and then proceed from there. If you call CPS or tell the school he’s been abandoned with you they can take him and put him in foster care.

@ricksmith Make him file his taxes then and if he suddenly has no income report him to the tax authorities.

@leras If he’s a subcontractor for his father he doesn’t have paycheques for them to take money from. That’s not the way it works. He’s essentially a business owner and his business is being paid a cheque.

@nannasin28 There isn’t a lot you can do if your husband is unwilling to go to court. Maybe it would help if your husband realizes that if you get full physical custody the mom would be the one paying child support? Maybe try explaining that by not trying he is complicit in her being neglected...

@flowersmaywither Other than the laundry those are just very typical household responsibilities that are appropriate for kids to be doing at that age anyway. Laundry is a very good chore for a 10 year old, and by the looks of it you are leaving out folding which is the longest/hardest part. Let...

@preacher_man2004 Not sure where this comes from. My sister started dying her hair at 12 and got lice every year as a camp councillor. I’ve also worked in 2 hair salons and had clients show up many times without realizing they had lice and nearly all of them had chemically treated hair. Lice...

@espy So just make sure he’s already done eating before you leave. If he’s choking in a different room in your house you wouldn’t be able to help either. If you go out an garden while the kids are in the house you won’t see them set a fire. You make decisions about reasonable risks every day...

@avimay Just give him a cell phone or smart watch. An Apple Watch is $200 used (maybe less) and the monthly plan is between $10-15

@brady95crosscountry No Absolutely This is his problem. If he can’t figure out that he needs a vehicle then I guess he can just sit around the hotel with the kids or walk places. Your son does not need to agree to use his own vehicle, and if he does he is allowed to set boundaries as well for...

@avimay People are being dramatic. How long is she gone for? Can she still see the house? Literally every parent in my complex leaves their kids at home while they walk the older ones to the bus stop, unless their kids are toddlers and can climb over baby gates and open doors. I’m sure your 5...

@yosoy This isn’t as big of a deal as you are making it out to yourself. He asked. You said no. That’s it. If he bothers you about it just say you already have plans and if a holiday really matter to him he should be asking well ahead of time to switch days. SWITCH days.

@tokkite You aren’t her dad.

@agapeos1080 Your mother can’t allow medical treatment either. I’m not saying she should be #1 on your list, but if they can’t get a hold of you or your ex if they called her she could get a hold of one of you while they focus on the emergency. I totally disagree with what she did, but it...
