Thanks Snodderly,

You are not the maid and/or babysitter for him. At this time, the house in your domain and he should be respectful in the fact that you require your privacy just as much as he's got his at the pirate's bat cave.
Thank you, this is so true. I don't intrude on his life and I don't intrude when he has the kids. I don't call him up at nighttime to make sure the kids are in bed. He is a bully and it's a damn shame the courts have not seen it yet.
Quote:
He's not only manipulating you, but he's doing the same thing to his child. This is not good. I can't help but wonder if this is what happened to him as a child.
I wouldn't be surprised, but why is it they do the same to their child when they themselves were hurt by these actions when they were young?

I think this free time is to set you up so that he can find out everything you are or are not doing to use in court.
I think so too. I don't think he would be so into seeing the kids all the time once court is over and done with.

He needs to learn respect, boundaries and above all else, how to play w/others in the sand box.
yeah, right now he's the bully on the playground. It's amazing he has any friends. Maybe his friends are the type that kiss his ass because they are afraid the bully would beat them up.
