Look up. I like that! Great thought for the day.

I had decided I wasn't going to write on my thread for a while but something happened that I'm hoping I handled ok but I could really use some feedback.

Gabe picked up Marc Friday morning. Friday evening I get a text from Gabe:

G-r u home?
M-Yes.
G-r u busy?
M-Having some downtime. What's up?
G-I'm going to kill Marc. He just tied a rope he had in his backpack around c's (OW's son) throat. They were playing around and Marc got stupid.
M-Is c ok?
G-Yes. They have been told in the past to never touch each other but they don't listen.
M-What are you doing to punish him?
G-I don't know yet. Any suggestions?
M-You will need to decide that when he is with you.
G-I was thinking of telling him he has to go home.
M-That is not punishment for him.
G-Yeah. I figured you would say that.
M-Let me know what you decide and if it's something that needs to be carried over into the week.
G-It may end up that we have to separate their weekends.


Gee, wouldn't it be too bad that they would never have a weekend without kids? I still haven't heard one word about what punishment he gave him, if any. He honestly has no clue how to parent does he?

Did I do the right thing? Should I have just let him send him home and dealt with it myself?
