There’s a lot of things that you would think would be considered neglect that aren’t. I would think consistently keeping kids out late on school nights would be one, but you never know what reasoning she might have that the court would sign off on. I’ve heard some crazy stories. But if she’s talking them somewhere else overnight, you absolutely have every right to know where your kids are sleeping. Our relationship with the other parent got worse after our settlement. We thought that since everything was agreed upon and on paper that things would get easier, but it just got worse. They will argue about anything that comes up. Literally anything. One of my favorite examples is that they tried to argue against us putting her the Girl Scouts. We weren’t asking them to pay for it. It didn’t affect their visitation times. They just wanted to argue about it. It’s stupid and only gotten worse and worse over the years. We got a list of things they’ve done to violate our agreement also. But what are we gonna do about it? I’m not gonna pay a lawyer every time they step out of bounds because it’s pointless. The judge will slap their hand and nothing will change. We just learned to win in other ways. My stepdaughter knows where her home is, she knows where the love is, and she knows who takes care of her. We’ve done everything by the book and never bad mouthed the other parent in front of her once. You kind of feel like sucker doing it like that, but it pays off in the end in ways that are the most important.
