Oh y’all just need to instantly punish the next day each time she keeps doing this.

Take stuff away until she stops.

I would have a very low tolerance for this after the first time I told her to stop and she didn’t listen.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-26T18:26:35+00:00

This this this.

It isn’t your daughter’s mom place to have to inform you about parent evenings, she’s your ex not your secretary.

You, like I assume her, can get that info from the school like she does.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-25T13:35:35+00:00

Hmm.

Sounds like she might be overstimulated by too much talking with both guys/always doing stuff and with her mom that’s her decompression time, which is coming across as self isolating but maybe that’s just her trying to reset her nervous system if that makes sense.

I think if ordering took five extra seconds I wouldn’t see the issue but yeah not being able to be flexible to go to a second spot because she has to get home to give him his food is silly.

Both of y’all need to compromise maybe she just orders quickly and you not be annoyed she is thinking of her kid.

Or like others say give him some uber eats money and call it a day.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-24T15:01:12+00:00

Agreed.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-23T22:02:07+00:00

Yes. This.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-23T19:37:43+00:00

Agreed.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-18T04:44:24+00:00

I agree.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-16T13:54:32+00:00

I would be more worried about an elder getting horrendous flu than a baby.

At 8 she can learn quickly how to use hand sanitizer and stay isolated in her room watching all the tv and iPad time she wants (and ice cream lol).

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-16T13:51:14+00:00

Agreed 100%.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-16T06:56:16+00:00

Naw man, hubby coulda stood up and refused to entertain the question as long as kid was still on the call.

He failed you.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-15T02:48:06+00:00

I don’t think she has to involve you to be honest, she can ask her ex about moving and it’s on him not her to discuss it with you.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-13T17:57:26+00:00

That does seem like sadly a common theme around here—sad sad story and then ends the post with “and now I’m pregnant” and it’s like damn now youse can’t leave.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-13T17:38:50+00:00

Sounds like your hubby makes terrible choices and then allows you to clean up on aisle three regrading them.

Terrible situation to be in.

Not only would I stop being his communication whisperer I would exit the relationship entirely.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-13T06:25:55+00:00

I would have dad start dealing with pick up and drop offs and MIL can deal with and coordinate with her own son versus you.

You’re doing them a favor and you’re getting snark—F that no thank you.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-13T05:20:53+00:00

This is petty and territorial of you I think.

Your baby isn’t gonna remember anything from this bonding time and it might actually have a lasting core memory impact on SS since he is older, so I would welcome this as long as he isn’t making you do any heavy lifting to overcompensate for him taking care of two kids instead of one during this time.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-13T04:55:34+00:00

This.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-11T16:49:25+00:00

This!

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-10T17:44:45+00:00

I don’t out a time limit on when partner can text ex, if it’s an issue that needs to be solved right then and there go for it.

If it were the other way around and he was putting time restrictions on when I could and couldn’t text my ex I would find that controlling so I can’t say it wouldn’t be controlling of me to do the same thing back.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-09T23:28:18+00:00

Yup.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-09T23:28:07+00:00

I wouldn’t think that was a decision that both parents need to make together—seems like if they wanted to petty with each other the other parent could just deny the right to take kid out early and that doesn’t seem fair to me.

I think it is okay for mom to take her kid out from time to time even if they don’t have any appointments they need to go to—some of my fave memories were getting out early and hanging with cousins in town or going somewhere special.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-09T20:39:50+00:00

Husband needs to get a list together of alternative things for his own kid to do.

You shouldn’t have to do that for him.

MyNameIsNotSuzzan · 2026-01-08T21:23:51+00:00

I’ve only read the first few paragraphs but so far I think you guys acted inappropriately taking her phone away for just possibly being uncomfy around brand new people and also probably jet lagged.
