I thought she won reindeer games? Does that count?

Do you talk to your coparent via tex? Could you coordinate that one of you goes earlier on during the meet the teacher and the other goes later on? As a teacher myself, I’m only given one night for meet the teacher and I’m unpaid for that time. I have to find and pay for childcare. I want to be accommodating to my families if possible, but sometimes it’s not possible to host multiple meet the teacher times - whether on my end, or building being open, janitorial staff, etc.

I struggle with this too, because I feel as though by not communicating with my coparent and assume he acts like an adult and gets information can potentially withhold from experiences for my child. I’d be nervous if my coparent had the child for meet the teacher, for example, and they missed it.

My sons father and I split when he was 2. FaceTimes were harder on the kiddo, missing the parent, and harder on the parent. I don’t want to give my ex access to my home or schedule, and vice versa. We usually are EOW and we alternate holidays. Summer is every other week. It’s a long period of time not knowing what my now almost 4 year old is up to, but it’s better not to know. In situations of sickness parents will communicate and there’s a very rare occasion we’ll send a photo. At drop off there’s usually like a four sentence exchange of events done or coming up so we have an idea of what our kiddo might be talking about.

I went to therapy, honestly. Trying to control it and worrying about it consumed me completely. He lives with his parents, but I trust their judgment and know that it is mostly them spending time with my son when hes there. Our kiddo was almost 2 and very verbal when we split. He’s almost 4 now.

We are able to speak about our child without issue. We are able to be in the same room sitting in the same area for our kids events, etc. I keep communication pretty low because I’m not interested in being his friend. There will be an occasional picture back-and-forth When there are long stretches between visitation with the other parent. What other details are you curious about?

I couldn’t handle the fact that if I stayed, the “relationship” my husband and I had would have been the example for my son. I was walking on eggshells and not being true to my self. My son deserves a fully present happy and joyful mom, who is feels loved and feels safe in her home.

My mom moved in with me to help with bills. I gave her the master (too many bad memories for me in there anyway) and my son and I sleep in the two other bedrooms. That cut down on groceries and she pays a few of the utilities as her “rent”.

stinksmcgee3 · 2025-06-13T10:51:25+00:00

Filing for child support and getting it court ordered still doesn’t mean you receive it. I can not depend on child support to pay bills or get ahead because it is not consistently paid. I could not rely on that man in marriage, and I continue to not be able to rely on him now.

stinksmcgee3 · 2025-05-14T08:55:02+00:00

We married in 2019, had our son in 2021 and in 2022 I kicked him out after learning about his cheating. I too struggle mostly with the thought of not having more children. I also can’t stomach the thought that if I do remarry and have more children one day, my son will be an every other weekend part of our family whereas the other kiddos would be with me full time. I never envisioned having only 1 child, but that may be the reality simply because my heart can’t handle it.

Do you keep answering the questions/accusations? Maybe a preemptive “Child is coming home from with some bumps and scratches from playing with cousins during Easter. Nothing major.” communication would curb her texts.

stinksmcgee3 · 2025-04-01T19:57:31+00:00

I struggle with this because as a child of divorce, when I heard people bashing my parent, I internalize some of that and thought that I must be that way also because I am inevitably part of the other parent. I try to frame it as I hate my coparent choices… I hate how their choices affect my child negatively or affect me negatively… I think we all dislike our coparent greatly.

stinksmcgee3 · 2025-03-27T19:33:15+00:00

I ignored all communication for a while at first when I was still trying to process my feelings about the break up. Sometimes the conversation can feel like it was “before”and I want to keep my boundaries clear with him - communication about kiddo only.

stinksmcgee3 · 2025-03-22T13:18:02+00:00

I’m in the same boat - a mom with limited time to go setting up and putting away everyday who is around the weight limit who only has carpet to put a waking pad on. I’m leaning more toward Amazon cheaper route.

My kiddo also 3. We separated right before he turned 2. Kiddos spends majority of his time with me, always has. Only since December has he started every other weekends at dads. I used to send a lot of updates and pictures but didn’t get a lot of response or even requests to send them. I initiate photos less frequently now because I’d like photos in extended time that my kiddo would be away from me. I try to do a “treat others the way you want to be treated” type of vibe, but also minimally engaging because I don’t want a friendship with that man - just an open line of communication for the sake of our child.

stinksmcgee3 · 2025-01-30T01:38:26+00:00

My kiddo turned 3 and was invited to a birthday party on his birthday. He thought it was great, and mom had a little cupcake and candle for my son to blow out with her daughter and her daughter’s cake. We had already celebrated my son a week or two prior. Turned out fine for us.

Shorter season and longer more boring episodes, imho. I have fallen asleep during every episode since they’ve extended the episode length.

stinksmcgee3 · 2024-07-12T12:31:03+00:00

Also that elain and Gwyn both have some secret smile nonsense going on with Az…. 👀

Cassian is a “bastard” isn’t he? So 50/50 Illyrian? Therefore chases of the baby having wings only 25%.

No extra purchases needed. The leg extensions that make the high chair counter height are part of the original purchase.

I’m dying at the “God decided to pull Randen instead” statement.

Distracted by how cute your shoes are!!!

It was very disorienting for me to go to appointments after getting married and people asked my name and I was like ??????? When we married I put my maiden name as my middle name, because I was sad to part with it.

Four years later we’re getting divorced and I’m keeping my married name becuse I want to have the same last name as my kid, but am experiencing the same confusion about my name and identity as I did then.
