Just an unhappy split and the occassional desire to hit the ex where it hurts - in the children. Not daft enough to stop contact but daft enough to just want to get under his skin a bit.
Says it all. At least you're proving that getting back at your ex is more important to you than your kids.0 -

This forum is full of double standards unfortunately and the women with axes to grind shine through on many threads.
EXACTLY. Seems its ok for a woman though.0 -

I do get it but courtesy is not the same as what's required by law. A separated parent does not have to tell the PWC all the places they are taking the children when the children are in their care any more than the PWC has to keep notifying the other parent about their whereabouts.
Although the ideal arrangement is for both parents to behave like sensible adults and put the children first, this often doesn't happen.
If the separated parent knew that the PWC would get antsy if an address wasn't given, he/she could give any address - unless the PWC is going to take steps to check up whether this is where the children, it gives him/her an entirely false sense of security.
As you like the what-ifs - what if the separated parent had told you they were going south of the city and there was a pile-up, you could be worried for hours when really the children were safe somewhere to the north.
EXACTLY. Not condoning it because it is a bit childish by the father but to harp on about "how a mother would never let this happen" and expect special treatment just because you are the mother is unnacceptable.
Unless you have any REAL reasons to have concern about the safety of the child, then the other partner has as much right to look after the child as you do. Even if its sensible and courteous to let each other know plans, its not a legal requirement.0 -

married or not my exs kids would never call em mum as i am not their mum as i would never expect my daughter to call exs new partner mum.. and i dont call my aunty aunty i use her name..
so surely they will always call her by her name?!
it is a tad odd though, but then alot of my exs have tried to move onto my sister after me or if i turn people down they go to my sister. (shes younger) but hey. the world is a weird place, guess its closest thing to what they dont have?0
