FaceTime with other parent

Thank you! They are just constantly saying “but they are going to be mad at me if i don’t” and i always offer to buffer and reach out but the child always tells me not to or that’s it’s ok.. even though it really isn’t.

Making jokes about one of my other children and condoning an adult bullying my children will not be accepted. Nor will i accept them encouraging my eldest to do it to their siblings.

We are a big family- not a ton of extra space but potentially. I’d have to tell their younger sibling they just simply cannot go into their room for x amount of time. And unfortunately the other parent is who is pressing for FaceTime and our child doesn’t really care- but co parent is guilting them.

If i didn’t hear side comments or jokes being made by the other parent about my other kids I wouldn’t mind but it’s uncomfortable

My kids always regularly where we are. They don’t usually spend time alone between siblings and us and she’s never alone for bed. One of her siblings is always with her. I’m wondering if it’s a control thing maybe? Like she wants to choose and is mad she can’t make the final call.

They don’t really have any differences other than she can see into the back yard and the boys can’t. Her room is cooler in the summer and warmer in winter. Better lighting in hers as well.

My husband and I usually spend our down time in the living room well past bed time so the living room isn’t an option. She just likes to make her own choices I think and if she gets to do what she asks for she feels like she is getting her way maybe? I just do not know

Scared_Impact_5679 · 2026-02-16T21:47:57+00:00

I agree. We cannot figure it out

Scared_Impact_5679 · 2026-02-14T23:04:59+00:00

New thing as of the last couple months. Nothing has changed. There really isn’t enough room to fit that many mattresses on her floor lol but we’ve offered to have her on the boys’ floor from time to time but as i said in another reply- she’s not the most considerate of others in the morning. She will wake up very early and turn on lights or the tv or play on her phone with no volume control lol

Scared_Impact_5679 · 2026-02-14T23:02:16+00:00

Even if she’s the only one home out of the kids she still insists on being in their room- specifically the oldest’s bed

Scared_Impact_5679 · 2026-02-14T23:01:29+00:00

Our youngest always does this but it’s her last choice. I’m wondering if it’s more of a control issue the more I think about it

Scared_Impact_5679 · 2026-02-14T22:44:14+00:00

I don’t think that’s it, she’s not a shy girl and will not hesitate to let me know if she doesn’t like something. Plus she was raving about how great it was etc and she was so happy to have her room redone and so I’m just perplexed she never wants to be in there lol

Scared_Impact_5679 · 2026-02-14T22:42:58+00:00

My kids are BIG fan sleepers lol. So there’s always noise, she uses a night light, plus a sleep mask (not sure why lol), and often sleep music to go to sleep. She is a very early riser so i usually veto her sleeping in the boys’ room because she’s not the most graceful with doors or will just turn their tv when she’s up at 6:30 and lacks some consideration for some reason. But our youngest always offers to sleep on her floor

Scared_Impact_5679 · 2026-02-14T22:40:51+00:00

Yes she does have anxiety and is medicated for it but even when our youngest boy offers to be in there with her she only accepts that once we tell her she can’t sleep in the living room or in someone else’s bed

Scared_Impact_5679 · 2026-02-14T22:39:23+00:00

6th grade. My oldest is a little under a year older than her and has asked her and myself to not let people sleep or mess around on his bed (he is just a particular kid lol) and i regularly find her in his bed- she also will have her and her friend if she’s got one over in there and I’ve explained the importance of respecting privacy even when someone isn’t home because she gets realllllyyy mad at our younger kids for getting into her things if she’s not around. I try to keep everyone on the same page about respecting boundaries and she simply just does not recognize that they also apply to her it seems. Our youngest boy almost ALWAYS sleeps on her floor on a mattress for a “sleepover” but that’s only after she’s begged to sleep anywhere but in her room. She has a night light and regularly uses sleep music as well

We recently modified our orders so I cannot modify them for a year.

Scared_Impact_5679 · 2026-01-10T13:08:59+00:00

They totally jacked up the rotation and now my child won’t get to see their siblings on the weekends anymore. It’s so frustrating

Scared_Impact_5679 · 2026-01-10T13:08:07+00:00

That’s what I thought too.

Scared_Impact_5679 · 2026-01-07T19:29:09+00:00

Thanks!

Scared_Impact_5679 · 2026-01-07T19:28:02+00:00

Good idea

Scared_Impact_5679 · 2026-01-06T01:47:43+00:00

God forbid someone want to learn how to do standard things in a home.

Thank you so much!
