When your child is just 11 months old, has been up all night and is sleeping at the time of pick up, yes I have that right. I called and emailed him to let him know at 7am that morning that she was sick and was sleeping and it would be best for the baby to stay home that day and I would notify him later if the baby was feeling better for the next days visit. Would you want to be moved when your sick??? After you have been up all night? Sweating and feverish? Would you want to go in a car only to be moved around? I think not, I always think of my children first.
Quote - "If the other parent whats to clean up puke", thats not in the childs best interest, that is only what the parent wants, thats in the best interest of the parent. Besides, he has no right to call and yell, scream and pull a tirade and threaten because of it, I called the police, and childrens aid became involved and they all said I did the right thing. But I do understand what you are saying as well, I am carefull about this and think things through, I ask others for advice and know I am doing the right thing. I just wish people would look at the other side a little more seriously and realize its not always best to have it 50/50.
The police and childrens aid determines whether they are behaving. and so do I. I think I know what abusive behaviour is and it is not acceptable. If you ask childrens aid, spousal abuse IS child abuse! I am putting my childrens best interests in mind when it comes to being abused by my soon to be ex husband. Parenting is a priveledge, not a right. anyone can be an egg or sperm donor, doesnt mean they should automatically have the right to parent. that is coming from a sense of entitlement and possession - that is mine therefore I should have the right to..... Bull!! Abusing your spouse is a danger to the child, it is a danger to their self esteem and their mental/emotional health. My statement is acting in my childrens best interest, I dont want them to be abused by him anymore, he has in the past. I will protect my children with everything I have and those who dont like it, well....
I am just sick and tired of all these statement where people go off and state it should all be 50/50. When you have walked in my shoes you would say different.
