Do you have any advice for a single mother whose daughter is starting overnights stays at her father's?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:“I’m sure ask-public will probably deny this question” Why? Take the high road and never talk crap about the other parent. But ask for a meeting with the judge or whoever decided the on the shared custody and see what options you have. In the meantime, have a prepared, calm response ready and then let it go (“You know that I love you and that’s not nice to say. Now let’s go have dinner/take a bath/read a book.”). You’re going to get much worse from her as she gets older, and it will have nothing to do with her dad. It’s a right of passage to tell a parent that you hate them.
