STBX Wants to Face Time

[Anonymous]

Good day. Today is Easter in the Orthodox Church. I served my STBX with papers last week. She wants to Face Time with me and our daughter for her Easter dinner. I’m reluctant. How would you handle this?

Set up the phone or computer, kids get bored on FaceTime pretty easy and will likely end it long before it gets uncomfortable.

Don’t keep your kid away from your spouse

Who has your daughter that day? Regardless if do it so the kid can see the other parent.

Why wouldn't you let her daughter speak to her mother on Easter?

She’s with her Mom.

But not *during* dinner. FaceTime after dinner or a different time during the day. FaceTime during a meal is weird and teaches the kid odd things about screens and meals.

Say no. Why is this so hard?

I'm Orthodox. I took my kids to church last night. We had Easter dinner with m ExH today (he is not Orthodox). We have been divorced for many years.

We are always separate at Christmas. My kids always talk on FT to the other parent on holidays. We talk on the phone if we need to.

Of course a child should be able to talk to the other parent on a holiday. Or, really, anytime.

I would explain more clearly who is in which place with who, and how old the daughter is, and what FaceTime setup is being proposed.

Getting divorced is an odd time. I am sure there will be opportunity for a reset on screens. Being a douchebag is a forever memory tho.
