Are there any other forums, that are maybe better suited for co-parenting discussions? I often have questions, and I don't know if DB is the place to share them.
Today, I am wondering about daily phone calls to the kids, from the other parent. Does anyone have some thoughts on this. How do you handle it?
Wife chooses to phone daughter every single day, during my parenting time. I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I think it is important that D knows that her mom cares for her and thinks about her when she is not present. On the other hand, it seems that daughter is often a little sad when W calls. I am mind reading, but I think she feels a little guilt and sadness, speaking with W, while I am waiting in the wings. On my end, I don't phone w's house ever. I feel that is her time with D, and I choose not to interfere. I have expressed to W, that I would rather she doesn't call. She insists, and currently I am not rejecting her calls unless they are at an inopportune time. I am just wondering what everyone feels is the right way to handle this interaction. Should I allow it. Should I decline it? Am I making a big deal out of nothing? Is W overstepping her co-parenting bounds? Any input is appreciated.
