I need to rant and it seems this is a better place than Facebook since most of you know what co parenting is supposed to be about.
I get my oldest child (daughter) every weekend, last weekend I had to skip bc my husband had the flu and didn’t want her to catch it.
This Friday she has a dance and her dad said I could have her sat morning.
She has plenty of other chances for dances but her dad said she was going and that’s that.
I could have her sat or not at all.
ITS MY WEEKEND and she is only in 2nd grade, there are other dances she can attend.
Like omg I’m big and pregnant and soon it’s going to be hard to even pick her up bc I could go into labor at time literally.
Am I a bad parent for trying to get my daughter to skip a dance and spend time with us?
I mean he is so rude and never works with me, it’s his way or no way.
He then throws in my face, well your husband can come get her.
Yes, he could but he missed a whole week of school and needs the extra time to make up for homework.
He is in school for OUR future.
And is able to make he drive Friday but since we have no say in getting her Friday then we don’t get her at all.
Am I crazy?
@raisinglittledoves, oh course I thought of her, the point I was getting at is that he said she was going and that’s that.
I wanted to hear from her that’s what she wanted and not what he wants, ya know?
Maybe you should think of your daughter? Maybe she wants to go to the dance..
@beccaaalynnn11, no just a Valentine’s Day dance.
That sucks... my other ex is that way. He is inconsiderate especially when it comes to my son and I. And he was abusive to me and my daughter so I never deal with his unpredictability well. Thankfully my daughters father and I get along very well. I would ask her still and try to reason with him if she says she doesn't want to go to the dance.
@raycharles1230, I get that and that’s fine if I hear it coming from her, but her dad is just so rude and doesn’t let her decide anything
And if she does want to go to her dance, don't be upset because you don't get time with her, she will always be your daughter and you guys can make it up sometime. It's tough to get into that mindset, trust me I know! But it will work out for the best. Ask her... good luck
@raycharles1230, she is old enough to decide what she wants to do, and it breaks my heart that he already said before I texted him about the weekend.
He prepared her for not coming.
Like wow you’re an ass I want my kid and it’s my weekend.
@raycharles1230, I sent a text to him saying ask her, but he doesn’t care and wants her to go regardless.
Ask your daughter what she wants. He should support her decision even if it's not what he likes. She isn't hurting anyone. That's what my ex and I would do. Our daughter is now in 4th grade so if he and I don't agree, we ask her without persuading her either way.
@jskidsmom, id Love too but we live an hour and half away. The driving locally kills me now.
That’s why my husband goes with me every Friday to pick her up and every Sunday to take her back. I don’t want her to miss something she wants to do but I want to be selfish because I didn’t get to see her last weekend and there are going to be other dances for to attend
Rant!
My sitter used cottonelle wet wipes on my baby! Now she has huge rash!!! I totally get that my SO forgot to put the wipes in her diaper bag. But she could have told one of us and we could have brought her some or she could have went to the store and I could pay her back. I don't get it. She buys her clothes and toys, takes her places while I'm at work. The store is literally a 5 minute walk from her house. But she decided cottonelle wipes are ok? Ugh. Rant over.
FTM problems...
So I've made it pretty clear that I want to buy my daughter her fist Halloween costume. Her babysitter/nanny keeps saying she wanted to make her one. I told her yesterday that I wanted to find her something that my SO and I could dress up as a family. So I told her I am going to get it. She just text me and said 'not trying to step on your toes but I bought her two costumes'. She does this all the time. Anytime I want to do the "first" things with her she immediately does it. It...
I can't believe it
My cousin stayed with me rent free from September 2015 to April 2016 and her stuff is still in my apartment. She's been saying she was going to come get her stuff for months. She text me this morning saying that she was going to come and get her stuff soon, and I asked her if I could have her air mattress. She tried to charge me $60 for it. The air mattress sells new for $35 on amazon and she didn't even pay $60 for it. I didn't respond and she just text me saying the $60 was...
My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her ...
I love how I repeatedly told my father in law not to let my daughter root through the toy box because she doesn’t want anything out of it anyway and he keeps picking her up and taking her to the toy box no matter how many times I tell her no and tell him she doesn’t even want anything out of there anyway. At first I told him “only let her get one toy” so she picks one up and he is still holding her over the toy box then tries to put her over the baby gate so she can grab more. I’m sorry but you ...
@raisinglittledoves, nope, all I received was a text saying she is going to the dance and she will see you next weekend.
