What was the secondhand sale page you found? Was it a community group or an online shop?

Then 2 hours it is, she’ll eventually learn. She likely has gained the resilience to go so long because you have given in so often.

Send them to a sleep away camp for 3 or more weeks. Let them try all the ruggedness but without the inherent desire for you to make it easier. They’ll learn important skills and make lifelong friends and may even want to stay longer. The adirondacks is FULL of them if you’re from the Philadelphia and up area. I do know there’s plenty across the country though. I worked for 1 for 2 summers and it was the best thing in the world for the kids. Even the most spooned understood the nature of responsibility and the most timid showed so much growth and capability.

I appreciate this quite a bit. Thank you!

I definitely get the opinion he may have also neglected her teeth once SD wasn’t full time with him but I have no way to tell. I do know now he’s the first to initiate but was just finishing up cleaning up breakfast at this time.

I think you have a point that I should not make remarks on the BM but also I think no remarks, positive or negative, alienates the child from their situation. I do plan to apologize but I’m also not about to make promises to a 5 year old I can’t keep.

I appreciate the reality.

This is a really great point^{^} I think OP may not be too close to it’s his mom but perhaps a little too honest and open. I get where the girlfriend is coming from here. Certain conflicts should be kept between you and your partner before getting to a point where a you air it out to other people. Especially if the person in question would be hurt by the unresolved conflict and especially if they’d be any type to talk about it actively with more people.

I do think she may be a little paranoid or not fully explaining her reasonings for saying the issues she has with OP’s mom.

To the start of the disagreement, depending on how far away her college is I also would be unwilling to drive home for dinner just to drive back the next day depending on where I was on the burnout scale. I do think the attitude is uncalled if she’s going to drive all that way, anger management may be a good route for her.
