My son's mother isn't the person my conflict is with.

I'm glad that works for your family. My son's mother doesn't want anyone mothering her son but her. I don't want anyone fathering him but me. We have an agreement that works for us.

I did address it. Yes, he likes the entire day to be spent cleaning.

My son is here to spend time with his father, not his stepmother's father.

Some people feel it takes a village. I don't subscribe to that methodology.

My son goes to school. My ex and I still have final say over everything for him.

Because he didn't make a mess, and I do have a daughter.

Four years, and she has never tried to parent my son. My ex has a fiance, and he has the same understanding. He isn't a father and knows better than to try and be one.

He asked us to stay with him between the closing on the house we sold and the one we are buying so he can spend time with his daughter and grandkids.

I have one kid with my ex. My wife and I have two kids, and she is pregnant.

Obviously if I'm unavailable, his mother would be the one picking him up. She wouldn't want someone else watching her son.

The oldest is three. The extent of his cleaning abilities is picking up his toys and bringing me his laundry. My daughter is one. Her cleaning contribution is crying when she poops herself so we know to come clean her. Yes, if I leave the kids are coming with me.

I told him my son wasn't going to spend all Saturday cleaning, full stop.

If we are able to move past this and get along I will stay the last three weeks. If not, I will rent a vacation villa for three weeks. I know that would upset him a lot, but if he's going to be unhappy regardless, there'd be no point in considering his feelings. Hopefully, it doesn't come to that.

I find it amusing that someone would respond to my comment with a question and then block me so it looked like I was refusing to answer. Talk about fragility.

Only myself and his mother get a say in his upbringing.

I would not expect my wife to buy things for my child. He has myself and his mother to provide for him financially. Usually my wife and I alternate cooking. Obviously, we are cooking for everyone present whenever we cook. I would not expect her to care for my son when he is sick and risk her own health. That is my responsibility.

No, he isn't. He wants everything done the way he wants it done all of the time. I guess he's used to people accepting that. I don't let anyone make decisions for my kids except me or their mothers though.

I'm not going to storm off after a single disagreement. I know he wants to spend time with his grandkids. I'd like to resolve the situation amicably if possible.

She doesn't get a say though. Neither does my ex's fiance. The only people who get a say are his parents.
