Just think, now she is getting railed while you're "babysitting" for her


She's the mother. But I guess her ex could be railing the babysitter.

Man that freakin sucks. I hate that the legal system and police can't do more for people that are really trying to just be part of their kids life. I honestly didn't know that the law couldn't much to help you because my experience has been on the other side when the other parent does not want to be in the kids life. Anyway I'm glad your kids sought you out when they had a chance.

Just because he'd like to have a baby sitter every now and then? That's fricking dumb. My wife and I have a two year old and we'd like a baby sitter some nights to go watch a movie. Guess we can't handle having one kid.


Your reading comprehension skills need refining.

If you need a babysitter for a few hours every now and then when you only have your kid every 3 or 4 days there's no way you could really handle full custody.

I feel bad for the dad. This stupid bitch gets the kid for 5 days a week, and is crying bc she can't occupy her time for 2 days?

You know she is going to go "psycho bitch" and try to take kid from dad permanently.

Her post oozes that shite.

You can't pigeon-hole custody agreements. They are very different strokes/folks.


unless you are a meth addict or beat your children over the head with a fricking baseball bat, you are entitled to your children 1/2 of the time as per the "paternity" law passed in 2006.

however, believe it or not, most men are ok with the every wed. and every other weekend arrangement. I, on the other hand, wanted them half of the time and that's what I received.

No tips , just wanted to say that I feel sorry for your situation. I couldn't go a day without seeing my kids.

the ex should be the baby sitter if needed, it's really an oversimplification and an asinine view to think that a single parent would never need a sitter for some reason, although it never happened, my dissolution ruling stipulated that if whoever had the kids needed a sitter for more than three hours, the other ex had first right of refusal

I had a lot of shite written out in reply but it was pretty bad. Glad I deleted it but this all sums it up for me as well.

We have talked about doing a dinner night together during the week, but I don't know if that is more confusing for her/us or not.


Do you ever plan on dating or possibly getting married? That is not the best idea and is extremely confusing to a young child.

We do the 2,2,3. I'll get them Monday and Tuesday. She'll get them Wednesday and Thursday. Then I'll get Friday -Sunday. Then the next week its rotates.that way we don't go more than 2 days during the week and it rotates every other weekend. Obviously when they get older it won't stay this way but right now when they're 7 & 4 it works for everyone. Plus we do holidays together and the occasional family dinner.

I see a lot of posts. Havent read them all. Here is tip:

Switch to every other week schedule. Its not about you, its about kid. Going back and forth any more frequently is bad bad bad for kid. Doesnt matter what you feel. Know this and act.

If you could handle 14/14 that would be better for kid depending on your skills. Most parents cant do it because they get too far out of good parenting habits after two weeks. And they miss kids but that doesnt matter really.

Now here is key you will like: once you are on proper every other week schedule, yall make arangements to like pick kid up from school on tuesdays and thursdays of the other persons week. Problem solved. You can do this or the equivalent. Whatever.

Truth is after a year yall will be covering for each other and seeing kid whenever you want but you have to keep kid at a one home for at least a week. That means you can pick up from school or grab dinner on his week, but kid has to stay with other parent on that parents week.

Kid has to have stable week in and week out set up i.e sleep in same bed all week. At least.

Hope this helps.

Divorce is pretty stupid. But once its done, its got to be dealt with smartly.

yep, it'll require constant adjustment and should almost always defer to the kids because they're the only ones in this mess that had no say so as to how it got to this point
