I really don't want to think about trying to do the same thing she did to us -- which is to try to take our kids away from the other parent. I really don't want to do anything that would hurt my boys, of course -- then again, I have to weigh that against her actions, and if they should ever prove to be the greater harm, then I will need to begin thinking of the unthinkable.
I would never suggest you try to cut your X out of the boys' lives. I just meant, I'm kind of the primary parent in my children's lives, and I think I should stay that way. I am always letting X see the kids whenever he wants and I email him re: all activities/things going on in the kids' lives. I don't believe my X would do the same; not maybe out of maliciousness, but more that he just doesn't think about it. I think in your X 's case it sounds like she planned that, which to me is really bad. If you're the primary parent, you could request the teachers copy you on everything too. I was thinking of that more as a way that you keep informed in the loop and not cut out yourself, not that you would do that to your X. B/c it is bad for the kids when either parent is cut out like that I think.
Sounds like fun with your boys!!! Sometimes veg out days are so good!!!
