My ex is an ass!

[Anonymous]

So I call him to ask if he was taking our daughter to gymnastics since this is his weekend. He says no we are on our way to breakfast. I informed him that you knew about her class and he replies that I can't tell him what to do on his weekends. This is something she loves to do and he sees otherwise. He just irks my nerves!

I hate men. They can be such pigs!!

I betcha he is doing this on purpose just to piss you off OP.

Sounds like signing her up for activities on the weekend needs to be a joint decision. Did you ask him first, since he has custody on some weekends?

He's having breakfast with his daughter. She's happy so chill. You can't control everything

What a jerk!

He probably just forgot and is unwilling to admit it. That would ALSO annoy me, but he might not have deliberately had her skip the lesson.... Total empathy for you. Men & women surely are different.

Having breakfast is fine and dandy but he also wants an active daughter. She was enrolled in soccer before and now that I think about it he lets her decide if she wanted to go or not. She did ride her bike this morning he said, but maybe I will just go on my weekends only.

Sorry but he has the right to decide what to do with his time with his daughter. Totally valid and healthy to have a relaxed breakfast instead of rushing her off to an "activity."

When you got divorced you quit having the ability to control what he did during the time he has with his daughter. Its his decision. If your attitude is reflective of a controlling nature* it might give you some insight as to why you are no longer married.

*Its a single post. I don't know you. Its probably an early judgement to make and is very likely flawed and catty.

I think you're over-scheduling your daughter. She needs free time, including with dad, to just hang out. During his time, butt out.

So you know. If this becomes "its daddy's fault" when she gets home you are likely in violation of your divorce / separation agreement.

I was not an attorney when I started to replace. Remarkably at the end of my reply I was still not an attorney.

are you the ex? lol.. I agree with you, having a relaxed breakfast sounds great, how about they do that at another time, say not when she is signed up and paid for a class? are you trying to imply that it was unhealthy for OP to sign her up for gymnastics? you're being ridiculous

uh what? if daddy doesn't take her to gymnastics, it is his fault. especially if she asked to go and he told her "no".

she is over-scheduling her daughter because she is signed up for gymnastics?

Who paid for it? If it's him, it's his money he's wasting. My ex gets the kids on Saturday. Any Saturday classes he decides whether the kids should go and he pays. Then if he decides to blow it off, it's on him.
