Hey ladies, I need to know if I'm wrong. I have four kids with my ex husband and he is incarcerated and has been since April of 2014. Our oldest daughter is going on a school trip to Atlanta and our second oldest got invited to go to Florida for two weeks in the summer. I know the family she's going with and trust them 100%, plus I trust the parents and teachers going to Atlanta with my oldest. I mentioned this to my ex when he called our children the other night. He is upset and said that I should have asked his permission before allowing our daughters to go out of state, he feels they're too young to go out of state without a parent. My husband and myself are paying for both trips and I personally didn't feel I should have to ask him because he hasn't seen them in 4 years and calls about once a month. So ladies am I wrong should I have asked him before giving my daughter's permission to go on these trips?
You ladies are awesome! Thank you for easing my mind. I try to keep him informed on everything from grades illnesses trips or anything else I feel he might want to know. I've never questioned my decisions before now so thank y'all so much!
He is incarcerated, he doesn’t get to have a say or give permission. He’s there for a reason. Keep deciding for your kids without his input.
@mommymonster, then I honestly don’t know why he thinks he gets an opinion.
Yes @alexistol33 you are correct he contributes nothing. He calls maybe once a month and sends letters at the most twice a month.
100% feel he has no say in this. He has been locked up for 4 years and contributes nothing to the kids’ lives financially or otherwise, correct? If so, he does not get to have an opinion. Keep doing what you’re doing!
You are not wrong at all. There is a reason why he is where he is. You are the one raising them not him. Keep doing what your doing and don't let him get you down. Your a strong mother :)
Never question yourself mama he’s sitting behind bars being babysat by the government because he obviously doesn’t know how to make good choices. So don’t let him make them for your kids.
Thank you @iwannaplay I feel the exact same way but he had me questioning myself.
@mommymonster your very welcome
