FIB...your a wuss..... just felt like throwing that out there
Look, I get what your doing, and I understand your logic. However...(cause there's always a however)... while you are teaching your son these life lessons you should also teach him that sometimes when people continue to walk all over you, you have to strike back.
So Citi field is a big place, is there somewhere you are meeting her? I hope like hell she honors what she said she would do. If she does not, take the gloves off Frank. A little story......
One week not to long ago I needed to have Ross on a Thursday rather than on Wednesday. Now mind you my normal day is Thursday, but I had switched to Wednesdays because I coached his soccer Wednesday nights. Well, Carrie said sorry but we have plans Thursday night. I said fine no problem.
So when Ross comes back home to me on Sunday night while we were talking he mentions that he went with mom to OM's house for dinner on Thursday. I told him that I wanted to have him that night but mom had told me they had plans. He proceeds to tell me that Carrie had told him that I couldn't clear my schedule to be with him on Thursday and it was my choice to not have him.
Gotta love it right?
Well, first off I told my son the truth. I told him that his mom was incorrect and that I had actually asked to be with him Thursday night. He got upset with his mom. He called her.. no prompting from me... he asks her why she lied. Her response... he misunderstood her.
My response to all this, I simply emailed her, copied both our lawyers and the GAL and filled her in on the fact that she had done damage to our son. That if she did it again we would be going back to court to determine what is best for him. Made it very clear that even though we are apart, in the eyes of the law she is still married so taking him to her boyfriends house was completely inappropriate.
She of course texted me and asked why I had to involve all these other people. I simply replied " You do not seem to learn any other way then when I prove to you that I am not playing around. When you act like a responsible parent you will no longer have to worry about me emailing anyone. Do not play games with me, I will not allow you to do that to our son. "
My son understands from all of this that he is my priority. He also understand that regardless of who you are dealing with, if they take advantage of you, you react.
Believe me Frank, I know I am comparing apples to oranges when it comes to Carrie and your wife. It is still the same though just at different levels of the poor parenting. You want it to stop, show her that you will not tolerate the bad behavior.
