  • Ex won't return kids items

    Face it, if both parties in a marriage were reasonable then you probably wouldn't be here.

    My ex is trying to prevent my children from taking their toys with them between homes.
    When toys go over there they don't come back.
    When school lunch containers go over there they disappear.
    My kids constantly come back with odd socks.

    This is getting expensive.

    Tips?

    Don’t let them take their toys back and buy cheap lunch boxes.

    There are no good ideas as they are bound to fail.

      Cleanslate, you might want to try disposable zip lock baggies instead of Tupperware and plastic shopping bags instead of lunch containers on days she picks up. Don’t send toys over.
      You can also purchase some cheap, clean, used clothes from a thrift store and send them dressed in those clothes on the days your ex picks them up. Save the new clothes for days she does not see them.

        If only there was some way to track these things.

          This type of petty behaviour never sees the light of day in court. All it does is re-affirm your thoughts about your ex and shows their true colours/how low they can stoop.

              Sorry you are dealing with that. Use ziplock bags instead of containers maybe?

              We had the opposite situation, when kids would come to our house, ex would send them with a garbage bag of toys from her house. (We have toys here) When Dad had to return the kids to School Monday Morning (Different city) He returned the garbage bag of toys with them to School. Mom was Not happy (Her attempt at making him do 2 drop offs to School and her house failed lol--She desperately wanted to see him.) She quickly stopped sending the Garbage Bags of toys!

                In addition to what you have observed the other thing the other parent could be doing is trying to send tokens (memories) of them (the non-residential parent) while at the other parent's house. Anxious parents "worry" that the children, while with the other parent, will forget them.
