I then asked if she could let me know who was sitting the kids tonight
I feel it was the right thing to ask as their dad,
It's really early days but should i not know who is watching my kids.
Hi JDevast,
You probably should trust that she's competent enough to select a reasonably safe person to watch your kids for a few hours. Neither my ex-wife nor I have ever questioned the details of each other's sitters. If you lack that trust for some reason--which would be odd since you share a business--some recourses include Right of First Refusal and offering to watch the kids when she needs you to so she doesn't have to hire a sitter. My ex-wife and I get along well enough that I've shared sitter networks with her--upon her request.
