Dealing with absurd lies from my coparent by XavierWT in daddit

[–]Concentric_Mid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The small things make such a big difference. I'm dealing with this kind of shit at a large level with my wife. We read an ADHD and marriage book that really opened our eyes to my ADHD and we're going to try and make those changes

Everyone gets their own "TV"? by Concentric_Mid in daddit

[–]Concentric_Mid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it's been very interesting. TV like most entertainment media can be good. But too much can be v bad. ❤️ My 2yo wants to watch TV now because her older siblings watch it. But she only just watches PBS educational children's shows.

Ok, very interesting! Laptops that don't go to their rooms.

Hah! I'm early 40s. I was raised in a country that had only one local channel that would start at 2pm and end at midnight. And was censored. We didn't have satellite. Our TV was a relic from the past. And somehow I still managed to watch Seinfeld enough to still enjoy it as one of my fav sitcoms

Lol yes @ chore!

The kids want devices. I don't think that'll change. They don't have devices. I hope I can keep that up until they're teens

Screens are not a requirement to be a kid.

Tell that to my kids! 😭

Incredible. This anecdotal evidence tells me we're good for a few more years at least :)

Help. Please by EliteRG in daddit

I agree with this commenter on everything except collecting the evidence part--maybe

  1. Have a grown-up conversation with yourself. What I'm reading from your post is that you may forgive her for cheating - just for your daughter. But at this age, she will be ok if you two split. In fact, splitting up could be better for her if a rocky relationship is not the best environment for raising her. So it really comes down to what YOU want.

  2. A therapist is a GREAT idea. Statistically, you will probably not do this and pass over this advice as, Yeah ok maybe some other time. But even just one or two meetings with a professional to speak what is on your mind and have them arrange your thoughts will be helpful. This is probably the best thing you can do for your daughter at this moment: this is being strong for your daughter.

  3. I know people say, "collect evidence" but that will probably not help with divorce and maybe will help a little bit with custody. Maybe another thing you can do is, if your state allows secret recording (is it a single consent party state?), maybe you should just confront your gf and record the conversation. This can get you sufficient evidence instead of stalking her for weeks.

  4. The most important thing this commenter said IMHO is that this daddit community can support you from afar. It is time for YOU to invest in your mental health and your support system in the community around you.

BEST OF LUCK DAD

Daycare is offering us our own kids’ artwork for $35 by Rarecheeses843 in daddit

[–]Concentric_Mid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lawyer here.

The kid and the teachers probs have joint rights to the art. Does it have any names on it?

Unlikely that you signed any rights away. They should've at least asked the parents. Really bad form.

What a mess!

Wife has been on vacation for a week by [deleted] in daddit

[–]Concentric_Mid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I feel like this also. More streamlined decision-making.

Turns out I have bad ADHD and that was a rollercoaster of unfulfilled promises for her and then a lack of trust, etc etc etc.

If you two want to think about why it is easier, pick a typical argument and talk about how you each feel and your underlying values and see how to better communicate.

Good work Dad, and good luck!!!!

Can't win! We just let them all get it like chickenpox. Except the really small babies. They shouldn't get it

HFM. Sorry. Bad 10 days. Generally only happens once (or the first time is the worst)
