[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually a child shouldn't be able to call another parent whenever he/she wants. The parent might be working on deadline or traveling or at a meeting/business dinner or sleeping off jet lag. I do agree in principle -- open communication is essential -- but practically speaking a child has to learn there are good times to call (anyone, not just a parent) and not. In this case, OP was right to let her son call his dad. I hope this sorts itself out, OP![/quote] Totally disagree. If I had a 7 year old, whose life I had shaken up because I couldn't keep my marriage together for whatever reason, you'd better be damn sure that s/he could reach me anytime that s/he wanted to. "Working on a deadline" or "sleeping off jet lag" are not excuses for a parent to ignore a child who needs him.[/quote]
