@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...

@agapeos1080 You have the other adult in your home on it, so it would make sense that the other adult living in his home is on it. The more people the better incase there was an actual emergency and for some reason no one on your list was reachable.

@msmia I honestly don’t see what the problem is. Your kid doesn’t need to do everything twice.

@vidacek1234 I would maybe say “so I have a friend I’ve been getting close with and seeing casually, we’ve decided to get more serious and I just wanted to give you a heads up. The kids have already met her so it should be a smooth transition” But if things don’t work out and you end up dating...

@vidacek1234 I have no clue what your ex is talking about. Plenty of single parents date when they have infants. They don’t wait 3 years to introduce their kid to their partner. Obviously because of abuse concerns it’s great if your kids can talk but it sounds like you are present while she’s...

@tms7981 If there is a valid reason OP should be aware of it. A random hand written note in a child’s backpack with no explanation is totally weird and inappropriate.

@jetsetbass She can’t take you to court over this. I can understand her apprehension, especially considering she is so far away from her child right now. That doesn’t mean she has the right to demean you. If it were me I would pick my child up myself. You are a grown up. You can handle an...

@lzz If you get every other weekend then he should get weekdays as a compromise. I agree parenting plan sucks when one parent is doing the whole mon-fri school week routine and one gets all the weekends. During the week if they’re in school or/and you’re working you only get to see them for like...

@espy My point is that this is not a favour for his ex. It is a very simple thing for his child. The visit has nothing to do with the child’s mother, other than it was her idea. This is a gift of time with very special people for his child. That’s all.

@espy Mom acted like a jerk, but it’s honestly super immature that the reason dad didn’t go and drop off/pick up his own child while in a foreign country is because he wants to avoid an awkward few seconds. Moms behaviour is inexcusable, but that doesn’t mean she’s wrong. Had she delivered her...

@straw23 I would absolutely not feel comfortable with a strangers children staying with me in a hotel room, nor would I allow my child to stay with a stranger in theirs. This is an extremely weird suggestion. Why do the adults need to get to know other people’s kids better anyway? And in a...

@espy He’s on a 21 day vacation and considering the grandparents probably rarely get to see the child it makes sense to do the visit. It’s the child’s relationship too and all grandparents are important.

@walkerdavis She has permission to move. She just hasn’t been told where her ex is moving. It sounds like she has more than enough documentation to show that her ex is aware of this and in agreement.
