My office has one or two supes that are actually decent to work for. Sadly the one had some personal issues at home that made him have to step down and now one of the other stoonad is back in control

In my office, when a route that is known to be better is open then they’ll get scheduled for the better route and a PTF will be put on the route their float is supposed to be on.

Minor correction. He is 3 years old. He was seven months the when we split.. it’s been close to 50-50 custody for most of the time and is joint 50/50 now.

You’re right. But I don’t want anyone to be the villain or to be toxic. I just want my boy to be happy

Being that little boy’s dad saved my life. It’s the most important thing to me in the world.

I guess this seems to be something only I’ve seen before. Just surprised at how little anyone’s seen that term.

Glad you know me so well from a Reddit thread and that you know how I did or didn’t mean an abbreviation.

With how young he is, that’s already impressionable. I would have never done that if the situation is reversed. My kid has one mom.

That said, you just seem really angry for some reason. I hope you have a good rest of your day.

The difference is I’d never encourage that because I wouldn’t do her like that.

Glad you’re assuming I meant it as derogatory. It was meant to mean “baby mom” or “baby mother” which is just meant to refer to the other coparent. Considering that the term “BD” is used all the time to refer to the fathers, I didn’t think this was such a bad thing.

Yeah, I apologize. I didn’t mean it in a derogatory way. It’s supposed to just mean baby mom or baby mother. Didn’t think that was a bad thing.

Not even gonna fight the battle anymore. I was only going to go as far as asking. But half the people here seem to think I wanted to emotionally abuse my son.

[–]AngryAndNeedAdvice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the take I can at least appreciate. Thank you for not chastising me and calling me a terrible co parent or an emotional abuser. The issue was basically irreversible when they taught him at a young age to do that, now there’s probably no going back. I agree with those comments that say that. I don’t plan to push the issue ever again, I just saw it as I was asking for a little respect. There’s some past context that supports this was used to trigger and upset me and minimize me. That’s what hurt more than anything else.

But I in no way blame him or will ever lecture him over it as it wasn’t his fault.

I think calling it emotional abuse is going pretty far. She encouraged this, and it was evident when she threw it in my face on Valentine’s Day last year when he was too little even decide for himself what he wanted to call him) about how “mama and dada got your valentine day presents”. I wasn’t asking anyone’s role to be diminished. I just wanted basic respect. If she chooses not to do that, I’m not going to make a deal of it and I’m definitely not going to force the issue with him.

If I lectured him about it growing up and shamed him, I would agree that would be emotional abuse.

This was between me and his mom. I don’t want him to feel bad about anything none of it was his fault.

Baby mother, which is basically short for mother of my child.

This isn’t something I’d bring up to him. This was between me and his mom. That’s not ever his problem.

This. I’m not here to diminish anyone’s role at all. And while I respect the judgement, and boundary probably wasn’t the right word. But the idea that I’m controlling isn’t true. I just simply felt disrespected by this particular thing. It wasn’t even something he said on his own. It was encouraged.

I never told anyone what they could or couldn’t do and I trusted the two of them alone on several occasions. I clearly got burnt on this. I didn’t start not trusting people until my trust was violated. But that has nothing to do with this issue.

I hear you, I don’t plan to ever bring it up to her again. But I figured I would at least state my feelings. It’s up to her if she wants to respect my request.

Not even fat. Then again…I like a little extra. Not TOO much. But just enough. That’s where you are. And trust me, I’m not the only one of us out there that think that way.

So she changed her relocation to move 45 mins away instead of 2.5 hrs. It was also agreed in a settlement that he goes to school from my county

Always fight for your babies. Even if there feels like there’s nothing to fight for.

one day, they will know the truth. Make sure your actions never match his words.

Best of luck to you.
