You... don't even know what your own child used in your own home???? Did you not even do the shopping, or did you tag along scrolling on your phone while your wife did all the research and selection?
I'm not really inclined to help you. |

| You don't know what your son liked to play with? Or whether or not he was in pull-ups or not? I think it may be clear why your wife left you.... |

You’re either a troll or deserves to be left by your wife. |

Why do you think he needs a stroller or plastic dishes or safety gates or baby shampoo for a 4 yr old? |

What makes you think that with that level of cluelessness, a judge will give you partial custody?

He can decide for himself if he needs them, I just suggested them as possibilities. I liked using plastic dishes for my kids, especially for water, snacks, etc, but these days there’s more awareness about microplastics, so maybe parents are more concerned about that than possible breakage. I thought the baby shampoo was gentler and used it when my kids were that age, unless they had been swimming, then I used a specialty shampoo to counter the chlorine. You’re probably right about the stroller, but I thought I would mention it in case he wanted one for major, all-day outings. I don’t know if he needs safety gates or not, but I thought he should consider safety as a general category and replace whatever had previously been in place. |

That's a ridiculous excuse, OP. My father worked a lot because my mother was disabled, but he also cooked and cleaned, made my lunchbox, drove me to school, sewed buttons and clothing labels, and put together my IKEA furniture. All the things my mother could not do. Being checked-out is always a crime when it comes to your children. DCUM can't help you anyway when it comes to details. Your child is very much his own person, and will need things that maybe not all 4 year olds need. You really seem not to know how to be a parent! Your child needs input on some of this stuff, he's 4, he has opinions and preferences: he's not an accessory you've suddenly decided to pluck away from your wife, just because she humiliated you. If your wife just left, making a list of stuff shouldn't be your top priority. It should be talking to her to establish some baseline of communication, as well as talking to your child to reassure him that his father is present in his life. You're just so messed up. |
