Dear Lady. Ann:
My Ex and I have a 4-year-old. We dated for less than a year and the pregnancy was a surprise to both of us. I decided to keep our baby and I don’t regret it. Our parenting relationship hasn’t been at it’s best. We disagree on a lot of things. When my daughter is with him, I feel he just does what the hell he wants and I get to play the bad parent when she returns back home to me. An example is bedtime or snacks. I specifically told him what time she has to be in bed and what she shouldn’t be eating. But when my daughter gets back from his place, she tells me how late her father allowed her to stay up for and the different things he allowed her to eat. I hate being
Anyway, his girlfriend reaches out to me to tell me she hates to see my baby daddy and I argue because he ends up feeling terrible. She insisted to be my only contact person in regard to my daughter. I was so pissed, how dare she! She has no business being involved in my relationship with my baby daddy. He has to man up and deal with his shit. There is no time for him acting like a p**sy and having his girl sort out his issues for him. I told her to tell him that if he ever wants to see his daughter again, he better come correct with me and never send her to me again! I am so furious right now. FFS! How do I handle this because as much as I would love to punish him for sending his girlfriend to me, my daughter adores her father so much, I can’t take that from her. Please advise.
